What a day! Two State and two British coppers.

Early last week I hit a former homesite where I previously had some luck. I started by searching away from the cellar hole for a change, but it was way too overgrown with brush and thorns. Discouraged and ready to relocate, I decided to try my luck near the hole again before leaving. I shortly got a nice coin tone about 30 feet from the hole, which turned out to be a 1787 Connecticut copper (maybe a Miller 6.1 - M). Psyched to not get skunked, I worked my way to within 5 or 6 feet of the hole. I soon after got another coin sound, and dug a nice 1806 King George III. Totally shocked now, I continued around the hole and got two more coins within a foot of each other; a 1788 Vermont copper (a first for me) and an early King George III, I think. What a day! I have no idea how I missed all these coins before, having searched around this hole several times with both large and small coils.. Also found several buttons too. Thanks and good luck out there.

Very cool ..two different colonial coppers !
The 1806 halfpenny looks legit but the other one is surely a contemporary counterfeit .
Great hunt

That's a day to remember.
Congratulations on the great looking coppers.

Sometimes the coil and the dirt are aligned.

Contemporary counterfeit… cool. I suspected the CT copper is counterfeit, but was unsure about the early George III. Thanks!
