    I see no detail on the back of the coin,pretty much worn flat.

    well Tom after comparing some pictures i'm pretty sure its a George the 1st so that would make the coin from 1717 to about 1727

    Nice to have a convenient site. ....that produces 300 yr old coins
    What does that field ground balance at? What were you able to run the sense at? George says I only get one question per post but I thought I'd try lol

    Hi ox
    It balanced at 63 on the t2
    I was using the boost mode due to not being able to get close to ground due to high grass.
    Sens 65-68
    Disc 37
    Tones BP
    That combo has been workin well so far this fall for me.

    Next time don't use any punctuation and it will be one question lol

    Great find. The George I's have a bigger rim on them. That is how I usually tell them from the George III's Glad you can even see a portrait, considering how long it has been in the dirt!!
