Yeah that's right I found a colonial coin!!!
Finally got hold of the Farmer to a house I been eyeing up for 5months or so... I talked to him about 5 mins an then told him what I was actually there for... without a thought he said sure go ahead metal detect but lot of people already hit it... So I thought probably a waste of time,but had the words that are always repeated on Tnet.. No place is ever hunted out... with those wise words echoing in my head I headed to the oldest house on the lot.. about 10mins into the hunt I get a singal that is bouncing.. I hear iron an some type of money tone.. so I start to dig an dang it big freakin root.. hacked most of the root out of the way an kept digging must have dug atleast 7-8 inches down then I see a disc on the pile of dirt... cake with dirt..so I take it over to the pond an wipe as much dirt off as possible just to see what is was... couldn't tell right then..stuck it in my pocket an went on detecting.. about 1/2hr later I needed a cigarette so I went to the car an pulled the coin out an looked again... I saw what i call the wheelchair Lady on the on side of the coin..right then I knew I had a good coin..I was so excited!!! so here is the pic of the only thing found today... DonSJ if you could tell me how to clean this I would be forever grateful!! also I have no clue what Variety this coin is an if it's real or counterfeited.... any help would be appreciated ...

Possibly ??
But I am fairly certain it is a King George I Halfpenny, regardless of not being able to tell the size.
Dump issue coins are fairly rare in the UK, so excellent US find I would say
