I found another great coin today, a King William III or George III I believe. I'm not sure exactly which one as the front detail on the face isn't that great and the back is hard to make out. I'll post weight and measurement soon. Can anyone identify?

The front seems to line up with this coin, a Copper Half Penny George III

Not sure about the back, having a hard time pulling any detail from mine?

I think it's an 1807 King George III. The nose lines up better and when you rotate the coin, you can see the shield and the word stands out. The hole threw me off, I thought it would be near the top on both sides.

Beautiful patina on that one, nice save!
Here is the one I found last year, my oldest coin found in the US:D
