Decided to search the field where I found the 1825 Half Dollar, turned up colonial copper

I updated my Deus 2 to 3.1 this week and I like it. I've been searching fields that produced before (as much as could in a few days) and decided to hit the field that produced the 1825 Half Dollar a couple of months ago. I have been researching that space and I think it was a main road for a while.

I found some trash and a few modern coins, nothing special. I started walking back and forth on what I think was the old road and after the second line, I got a weak low 90's signal. I dug up George 3rd half penny. It's from sometime before 1775. I can read a little bit of "Georgius". And I think the head is facing right. It's pretty toasty. Not the worst I've found, but almost.

It's the same size and shape as one of the other George 3rd coins I found in my neighborhood. I show them together in the last photo I'll post. So I know what is. I just wish it was in better shape.

I guess I'll be going back there again.....

You poor pathetic soul

Oh, and I hate the in-situ fresh reveal pose as well.

I was wrong! It’s a King George 2nd! He’s looking left. These were made 1740-1754. My oldest coin found in the U.S.

He didn’t even comment on how I found the good one in my neighborhood. But after cleaning, it’s a King George 2nd, even better.

I managed to get a date off the reverse. 1748.

Nice old coin, it would be great to see pictures of the terrain or country side that you're pulling these old coins from!

This is such a small field surrounded by roads and buildings, I'd give away the location!

I understand, I am going to start adding general shots when I go out.
