Nice 1753 King George II Halfpenny

[umrgolf]

This is my fourth KGII and by far my best.. 2 of the other 3 are toast, and the third had a nice patina, but it's a smoothie.. If not for the rain, I'd still be there ... Jeff

Dirty George


Lead Seal (any input as to what it might be would be appreciated... train?)

Congrats on your finds Jeff Hey, did I read your post right where you said that you're going to be leaving the area? Man if I had the finds that you've been having of late, I'd never want to leave!

Yep, Navy and new orders, so I'll be headed out soon... Talked to the detailer on Friday and he said the orders should be ready to view in a week or two, so not much time left here.. I'm almost certain I'll be back in this area someday

I've dug a lot of King George's and that's as good as they get

Thanks Steve! Seen a bunch posted on here and I've seen a few that looked better but I am very happy with this one This small area seems to preserve the finds so well. 200 yards from where I dug it, Josh dug a VA halfpenny that looks even better than this coin.

Sweet find Jeff. Good luck where ever you go. Sorry we never got together for a hunt after running into you out younder as I kind of hung up the detector for a few months for other persuits.

I'm sure you're going to tear it up at your next stop.

Now get on out of here and leave some loot for me

Gosh 1753!! Amazing. Just amazing. I think I better move back east before I go crazy over here.

Never used to give the George coins much attention but I like finding them now, just wish they were as nice as this one
