I was out today for a few hours.. I've never seen so many pieces of foil in one place... I was finding it everywhere.. I got one good signal and my god it turned out to be a coin I've been dreaming of finding... I've found a few but crusty and mostly too far gone to ID.. Well look how this 321 year old W&M half penny came out of the ground.... I near cried with delight :)

Wow! That is a sensational coin
 

Finds like that were meant to bring "Tears of Joy!" :lightbulb::lightbulb: worth crying over at least 2 X. This coin brings a song to mind. "Hey now! hey now! don't dream its over!" Just cause you full-filled one dream doesn't mean its over !

:occasion14: CARM
 

Beautiful copper! Would love to find something that old.
 

Fantastic Joedigs.... I hope to find something like that someday. Some of the items I see dug up on this site make me droll. I'll continue to "dream"... great job!!!!!!!!!!

No on the crounds of a 17th century bawn
 

That's great. Few coppers are found in condition like that, and it has lots of detail. Well done!
 

Wow, I would pass out if I ever found something that cool. Congrats to you!
