Wednesday, with 90 minutes to hunt... I head back to an old school that I have worked pretty good over the last 2 years... but still produces keepers most of the time...

I first target out of the hole was a US Military Button... I don't know the era... *shrug*

Next up was a sweet silver sound (as you can hear on the Video...) 1946 Roosevelt Silver Dime...

Thurday night was lots of rain and storm in CT so i neaded to a spot on Friday that yielded some nice old coppers a few weeks back, but was bone dry...

I had a nice 12/26 signal @ 6" that yielded this King George II Half Penny (1727–1760) Might be my imagination... but look like a 175X for a date...

I recovered a few flat button here and the last keep was this 1864 Indian Head Penny... That LOOKED pretty rough out of the hole but cleaned up fairly good...

This totals:

Happy Hunting all!
Paul

Yup you got yourself a KG.

Yep it's an oldie! But it's a Farthing not a Halfpenny. It's also the young head which puts it 1730s, and by the picture looks like 1737 with the last 7 dropped down slightly.
