Dug a George II today. More detail than I usually get -- its refreshing to see something other than a blank slug or just visible bust.
Looks like 1728 as near as I can determine. Base metal period counterfeit (no patina, lower VDI), so no telling exactly what year it was actually made. Of course, my luck to get a pretty good one, and there is a little corrosion right over the last two digits of the date :bangahead01:
Only coin of the day, tho did manage a small button and some deep pottery/plate fragment as well that was with an iron target. It is interesting to get pottery out of the site to keep with my collection of relics from this site.

But like you said, it could be minted anytime since it's a counterfeit. We get quite a few here as well, and they do register lower than they should. That's one way to tell for sure. It's kinda funny that the counterfeiters were debasing the copper with cheaper metals for their profit, Unknowing to them, they were doing us a favor. 
Mixed metals sometimes hold up much better than the Regal ones. lol Great hunt and I love some of the designs that come on our pottery fragments too. I hope you are going back
