New oldest coin: 1730 King George II halfpenny

Dave2000 · May 30, 2016

I hit a densely wooded hillside today that I've been hunting off-and-on for the past few years. This one area that I'd neglected until today (it's s a big hill, a few acres) seemed promising because it was giving clean 80-81 tones on the AT-Pro, but I was disappointed to see that they were all Memorial Lincolns (no wheats).

Then, I hit on a 87-88 signal and I figured it was a quarter (probably clad). Very surprised to see this come out.

Wow! Cool Find!

Thanks, first I thought it was a Large Cent before I got a good look at it. Sone LC's I've dug with the ATP have the same signal.

Great coin Dave!

Any copper that old is awesome when you can get a date off of it.

Yes, that is that is where my Pro rings up.

Some clad quarter that turned out be!

Those Lincoln cents really faked me out. The weird thing is of all the coins I've found here in the past few years (excluding clad), the oldest coin before this was 1920s.
