Had a few hours today and got out to the same place that yielded a KGII halfpenny and 1787 Mass cent. Following the advice of WhiteTornado I lowered my sensitivity in an area with a lot of electrical interference. Last time I went through this spot it was at the highest but had lots of chatter. Got a solid signal and dug deep. Out comes another copper, with very nice planchet quality. Got it on video but don't have time to edit it now. Will post tomorrow. After the video I was able to tell it was a King George II halfpenny. Also got a few buttons in the area too. Later in the hunt got a nice silver ring.

Got the copper home and could see a full date! 1752!! Not too bad. HH all and thanks again WhiteTornado!

    Wow, more amazing finds! Glad the advice worked. Kudos to my local club, where they discussed that strategy at last month's meeting.

    << <i>Another nice find. How deep was this one? >>



    Thanks PPC! It didn't seem as deep as the others. I didn't get a full gauge as the pinpointing was slightly off on the detector so I had to make some side excavation. It was probably 6 to 8 inches.

    Thanks everyone else too! And Mariner, I'm glad you enjoy reading the posts. It's great to be able to share finds with people who appreciate them. I show pics to my friends and family and most say, "oh neat... so anyhow..."

    Outstanding finds! You suck! image

    That's a sweet halfpenny with such a clearly readable date.
    The silver ring looks great too and appears to have some age to it as well! Does it have any hallmarks on it that one could investigate further?

    Thanks Zot for the You Suck!!

    It's so rare to find an old copper here in New Hampshire with a readable date.

    I don't think the silver ring has any age to it. It only has the "925" stamp inside. In the section is was found, it was all clad coins around it. It also wasn't very deep. It's still better than another bottle cap!

    Your finds really rock!

    That's about 200 years older than my oldest detecting coin find.
    I can only imagine the thrill of finding that! image
