Dug this in the same spot I have dug three LC. The condition is very poor. No detail on other side. It appears to be a Connecticut or Vermont or possibly counterfeit image.webp. Edit: This coin is most likely a dateless KG II

Slightly better pic and the outline of a bust is visible on reverse

Congrats on the old copper. :thumbsup: Man you guys on the east coast have all the nice coins...
 

A nice find.
but what it is I don't know (def,look's like someone seated on the back).
Never even dug a LC here in N Ga , tho I know there are some found every now & then.
Davers
 

I am now pretty confident that it is a KG II based on comparisons to photos such as this one and the little bit of detail I can make out on mine. Sweet. It can now go along side my 1724 KG I found walking along a creek as a youth. Pic of what I think my coin is

very cool old coin!, love them KGs, sadly they don't love me enough to get under my coil!
 

It's usually easy to tell if you post a good clear shot of the bust side. Just seeing the reverse all George IIs look the same, as does 18th century George III.
