Ace250 came today! Found 1774 halfpence! Wow!

[skydivdav]

This is cool! Within 30 min. of firing up my very first machine I dug a 1774 George half cent! This is exciting! I dug it two inches down in the front yard within inches of the sidewalk. I knew this house had potential, as it's earliest structure, the house, dates back to 1810. I can't wait till sun up!

I'm so pumped I hope I can take a picture to post. the one attached is not my coin, but an identical twin, save for condition.
Mine needs cleaning very badly. I think it's copper? What do I do? Thanks!

Blue skies!
