I spent 2 hours in the hot sun this morning and found exactly one coin! But that coin was a winner! Not 100% sure, but I think I found a 1722 Rosa Americana penny! The amazing thing is that it was only 4 inches down and on a field I've detected at least 20 times. It was in an area full of iron, so that's probably why I've missed it up until today.
Haven't cleaned it much, but it's definitely King George on the front. Let me know what you think about the back. I'm pretty sure I see a rose and "Rosa Americana" along the top of the reverse. It's thicker than a half penny, so it should be a penny denomination.
Here's a few pics:

Awesome job finding that incognito spot based on previous digs... looking forward to seeing what else you find there.
