King George II, III, and a 1600s French Liard: A Colonial Bonanza

[Kyle PA]

Chris and I went on a permission mission yesterday looking for a cut field to get into. We realized shortly after driving around that no farmers cut fields where we wanted to dig. We almost gave up for the weekend...until I was struck with a thought..."Wait, I have one more site we need to check. It looked ready to be harvested weeks ago, so I thought it may be ready." I was correct as we drove by! It was the only cut field in the whole area...and I had research on the site!

I texted Kirk to tell him we got permission to hunt the field. When I told him where it was located, he texted with the words "Bucket bonanza!"

It wasn't long before swinging in the site when I got my first target: a beautiful King George II halfpenny. My second copper came shortly after: a 1775 King George III halfpenny. My last copper of the day and my oldest coin ever was seven inches deep and read faint. It turned out to be a 1600s French Liard copper. You can see the words "De France" on the back of the coin!

I also dug my first set of fully intact cufflinks! I finished the day with two dandy buttons and a tombac!

11 coppers for the group today! All Colonial! Yawesome!

Great finds!!!!!! I recently found a coin that had a triangle on it and at each point of the triangle it had king's crowns at each of the points of the triangle with the Fleur de lys in the middle! does your coin have that? The coin is in such bad shape, i can't make out a date.

Thanks Iron Patch, Thats the exact same coin that I found! Been driving me crazy trying to figure that out. Just wish there was a date that I could read.

We actually dug 10 coppers in 30 minutes. Chris dug the last one at a depth of 10" and it read 0 V.D.I., but that was before we left. We know there are more deep relics and coppers. Time to get the sifter out.
