My First Readable Colonial......1736'

Ty and I first started this rainy morning out at an old 1700's house that we have pounded pretty hard,a few old coin's and relic's by Ty :thumbsup: and that was about it,a little CW break......I got a few keeper's but nothing like this afternoon's hunt!!!! Brand Spanking New Spot.....1740 House......Pouring down rain pretty much all day here,I even had to "bag" the detector for a couple hour's.We probably only hunted a hour and a half maybe before it let loose again!!!! :-\ But here it is,my First and Dateable "old" Copper....I think a 1736....Cloud Nine Baby!!!!! Soaking in mild detergent and some luke warm water until I can figure out how to "revive" this thing.....Thank's for Looking and HHx2 !!!!!

Congrats on a readable one, now work on a readable no holed one! :wink:

King George II coppers are usually the best chance for a better conditioned copper than the King George III since the vast majority of those are counterfeit and not struck as well and usually on inferior planchets.

WTG Joe. Congrats on a spectacular find. You earned that one sloshing around in the rain and mud. That's some hardcore hunting :icon_pirat:

Re: My First Readable Colonial......Are You Kidding Me!!!!!....1736

Very nice find...but am I the only one seeing 1756?
 
Re: My First Readable Colonial......Are You Kidding Me!!!!!....1736

nice find
 
Re: My First Readable Colonial......Are You Kidding Me!!!!!....1736

Beautiful! But OK...so it's obviously a GeorgeII Half Penny...but the date has me curious...I too think it says 1756, but can't find a date range for that coin anywhere and I can only find this 1752 version. Maybe one of the UK members knows of the date range? There is a British evasion coin, GeorgeII half penny but the reverse is different than this one...
