I wanted to post this yesterday but man was this a crusty coin and needed to clean it overnight.
I was at my site dating back to 1675 and wayyyyy in the back. Found a few Mercs and thought why not a few more before going home?

I get a deep signal, 12-41/42 but kind of strong. The CTX said 5". I dig down and it's a few inches deeper than the indicated depth. Low and behold a super-crusty green disk pops out!

Seeing the condition I knew not to even try for a field ID.

I texted my buddy that I broke my month-long copper slump, put it in some dirt, and carried on....
That nigh at home I tried distilled water but nothing budged. The I did a hot peroxide bath and things loosened up. I still couldn't get an id, got frustrated, and threw it in a mineral oil bath.
I came home from work today, used a kabob skewer and everything melted away!!! Phew! One side is better than the other but it is decent enough to make out William 3rd and part of the date.
