So found this Metal detecting in an area in Michigan settled around 1840/1850. I think it predates the area by several decades if not more! Found no other Relics/coins besides a few wheaties which I thought was odd given this find.

It is very worn and have been working on identifying it, but need help.
I believe it’s either a King George I halfpenny, King George III Farthing (Most likely),or a Hibernia.
It measures in at 24.6 mm, don’t have a weight. There is one small almost identifiable letter just above to the left top side of head. Hard to get good pictures on this but thank you all in advance for the help!

Very Nice!! Congrats!!
 

The most similar that come to mind would be a 1723 Hibernia or possibly a French Half sol 1719, 1720 etc.. Think it's probably the Hibernia.
