Draped Bust, my oldest IHP yet, and an unknown copper - appears now to be a William III halfpenny!

Another good day on this small patch of land, I’ve gotten many good targets here and it hasn’t quit yet.

First good dig was a pipe (I think).

Got a good signal and honed in on what I knew was a coin. Remembered to get in situ pictures!

My second Draped Bust, finally with a date - 1806!

Always happy to get an IHP since they usually clean up so well. 1878, my oldest one and first coin from the 1870s.

Last good target was another copper, but I cannot figure out what it is. A few shadows there, but it’s in pretty poor condition. I thought it was another large cent, but it’s noticeably smaller.

High five to whoever can ID it!
