Started Out in the Woods

[mike l]

Steve and I got out for our weekend hunt about 6:30, too early to knock on doors so we hit some woods. Found a piece of an old spoon and a flat button, Steve got a nice large cent. After that we stopped at a house we hit 2 weeks ago, but no one home. On our way home stopped in to say hi to the homeowner of a colonial house we hit several times this summer and asked if we could do another pass. He said go for it and we did. I think I found my oldest copper, 1730 KG. . Also got 2 flat buttons. We were on our way home by 10:30, each with a LC to add to the collection

Gotta love it when the homeowner says go for it again. Nice coppers, any back marks on the buttons?

I'm loving those finds... Congrats on the 1730's coins.

Nice, early George II. Is that a '30 or a '39? Anytime you find a coin from the 1700's is a great day.

Great hunt !

Nice recoveries! I got a 173? Hp recently, and did some comparisons.
we have either 30s or 38s, cause in 39 the shield came to a point rather than a scroll.
Still can't be sure what year mine is, but I'm leaning towards a 1738
Continued success to you! Herbie

nice Half penny Mike , definately a 1739 last year of the young head and in nice shape too. congrats | |

[steelheadwill]

Agreed with '39 date, maybe the 1739 with pointed shield reverse were struck using dies intended for the 2nd GII series

Congrats on the awesome 1739 King George II! |

Finding something that old would make my millennium!
