My 12 year old got the better of me today.................

My son and I went back to a nearby colonial site today. As usual, he's pulling out the tombac buttons like mad (he had 3 before I got my first for the day). The site has never produced ANY coins for us, only buttons, until he's running over with his prize, a 1749 George II ( not sure which one, about the size of a quarter) with the date and all markings clear as a bell.
It took me about an hour, but I found one too, about the size of a U.S. half,1749, but not in nearly as good a shape.
Overall a pretty good day!Thanks for looking.

My 12 year old got the better of me today......... And today a CONN COPPER!!!

Another trip to the site and my mini me pulls a Conn. copper from the earth. Front detail is good, bust facing left, CONNEC on the right of the bust, it needs a little more work to see the back, pictures to follow if I can get them to come out half way decent.
