Whenever anyone uses the word "plethora", this immediately comes to mind:
Jefe: We have many beautiful piñatas for your birthday celebration, each one filled with little surprises!
El Guapo: How many piñatas?
Jefe: Many piñatas, many!
El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A plethora.
Jefe: Oh yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Congrats on those excellent finds and I hear you with trying to balance family time and detecting. Since I got back into it again I've been trying to make it beyond my own yard to no avail.
Anyways, hope they keep coming for you and happy hunting

That's awesome, well done. I wish copper coins stayed in good condition! Is that a George II in some of your pics?
This seems to be one of your coins:
Here's the other:
Oldest George I've found was George III and I thought that was old! I wish for really old stuff after seeing your post, congrats!

Very impressive Jeff! Good work!
It's good to see that people are still pulling great finds from these sites.
If you find any "old" strips of lead sheet, these were sometimes to melt for musket balls.
Keep us posted on the excitement!

Thanks for looking everyone! I believe 3/4 coppers were KG 2's and one was unidentifiable.I'm not very good at copper ID's. Upon further inspection, I think your correct Right Brain, the last one pictured may be something else. Its smaller than the rest, half cent sized. I did find a huge sheet of lead that is in my backpack, I had the same thoughts, most likely camp lead. I should be back at this site sometime this weekend. Will certainly let you all know how it goes, I appreciate your replies!
