Oldest Coin Find So Far

Here's a video showing a metal detecting trip using my minelab X-Terra 705 on a friends farm permission. The week prior, I found my first silver coin and this time out, I found my oldest coin to date, a George II half penny. The date is too worn but the coins were made betweek 1729-1754 so it's getting close to 300 years old. It was the only coin I found on the hunt but also found lots of things I thought were coins on their way out, until a bit of cleaning revealed most was junk.

Great find! My oldest coin in the US is a George III cent!

Congrats on your oldest coin find. My oldest coin here in the US is a George III half penny dated 1806.

Congrats! My oldest coin is an 1841 LC. Of course that's only 5 years or so after the first settlers arrived in the area.

great find, I'd take that anytime as my only find on a trip. Nice find WD

congrats on your oldest coin Goldgrabber :cheering:, the coin is a "younger head" variety these were minted from 1729 to 1739 .

Nice find!:thumbsup01:
Congrats! :grin:
I found a KG II this past fall! I took a trip out to Connecticut to hunt some colonial cellar holes with a few forum members.

Congrats on a great find. We just recently moved from southern NH to upper state NY and I really miss the potential to find those really nice old coins.

That is a really nice find.:congrats:
