Hey everyone, was able to get out last night for an hour before dark, and hit a nice old copper. Still working on identifying it and will have a close up shot of the bust side in the morning when I get home. The first letter on the left side of the bust (right facing bust) is definitely a G. But it doesnt say georgivus like a king George would. Right now I'm thinking a king william or possible william and Mary. Ill keep you guys in the loop ! I certainly won't get a date unfortunately. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Thanks everyone! She is definitely toasty but shouldbe identified. The reverse is completely smooth but the bust side has a few letters and a right facing bust. The closeup with my finger shows the G all the way to the left of my finger nail. I just don't think its a KG for some reason...

Love the in-situ picture ! However, that doesn't look like a "sand-box". Looks like terra-firma soil. What happened to the east coast sandboxes brimming with colonial coppers ?

What are the dimensions? I really tried to use my imagination to see a bust but I can't do it.
