King George has been found.

[Garabaldi]

Just dug this penny. Anyone know if this is a King George the 1st or 2nd Half Penny? I think the date is 1738. I haven't been out much in the last month, the last four days we have been in a heat wave here in Boston. I was in the beating sun for about 1 1/2 hours and dug this in the dry dirt. I was about to pass out from the heat, then this coin gave me the motivation to leave. I was very excited finding this bad boy. Keep the faith.

Great find there...George stopped by here a couple of times this year but was about 11 years younger..

Are you getting younger and older confused again? Younger is the lower number, and older is 1749!!!

That is a King George that I would love to flip out of the PA soil. Sweet detail, man!

Thank you all.

That's a GREAT looking George II!

The patina looks a bit fragile and flaky around the edges, so I'd steer clear of both water and olive oil. What you've done to clean it so far is excellent.

This 'bad boy' is a hunk for its age

I put about 4 coats of Blue Ribbon on it.
Thanks all.

I bet that made it all worth while to brave this heatwave, thankfully it's over for a few days. Great looking find too Garabaldi, that sure would've made me want to crack open a couple of cold ones to celebrate!
