Two Kings in one hole!!!!!

[Garabaldi]

A friend of mine invited me to hunt with her today at an old site that she had researched. We weren't finding much of anything except a lot of modern shot gun shells. I got a faint signal and assumed it was another gun shell, then saw a bunch of pottery. Dug deeper and out popped a king George copper. Before filling the hole I swung the coil again and realized there was another King George copper. I couldn't believe it. One is a 1745 King George II and the other is 1723 King George the I or II? I am assuming the I because its older. I have dug Large coppers 4 days in a row. I have never been this lucky detecting before. My friend was very nice to invite me and I am bringing her to one of my hot spots this week.
Hope you are all as lucky as I have been.

Thank you all. Still cleaning them, some updated pic.
This image shows the outline of where the coins were stuck together from the discolorations on the coins. They were sandwiched together.

Congrats Garabaldi. Those coins are beautiful. How are you cleaning them? I can never get my indians to look that good. What do you use?

I used to ask the same question zax, I was shown by my friend. You put a little olive oil on a paper town and start gently rubbing the coin. I eventually used a toothpick tipped in olive oil where the crud was stuck on; However The IH and coppers I find around here do not come out this nice and I am convince the reason is all about the ground minerals in which you dig your artifact or coin. The soil I dug these coins was different. The IH's I usually dig never come out like this. They typically have corrosion on them.
I was a bit to rough on one of the coppers, you can see I rubbed the patina off the edge, but it was caused by excitement.
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

Very cool... we don't have the chance at something like that here unless there was a lot of coins. (plow fields)

I would rather dig where you are any day dirtville.
