was dug today!!! 
We returned to the site where I dug the 1720s Leopold I Silver last week. We had hit the yard pretty hard then but we figured we would go over there and try to sniff a couple more signals out today as we only had a couple hours to hunt. After about 10 minutes there I got a pretty bad signal that was hitting "irony" one way and +57 the other...but I decided to dig it anyway because I've dug some really nice stuff that's hit REALLY BAD in the past.....When I popped the plug this is what I saw:
1773 Virginia Halfpenny (Only Coin minted for the colonies in the Mother Country of England at the Tower Mint)
Out of the Ground
(Please excuse Pic, my DV is dying thanks to dirt getting into it)
Close-ups
Closeup of the "17" and "73" on either side of the crown
VIDEO
There were about 640,000 of these minted and this is by FAR the best one that I've ever seen or dug....
Video being uploaded and will be posted as soon as it gets done

. Well done, can't wait to see the video.
That's pretty high for a coin in the 1770s. 
I've seen quite a few dug VA halfpenny's and none of them looked like this, u got my vote
