I've been slacking off on my detecting duties for awhile. Trying to get things done around the house that I put off. Now I'm getting back out there. Hit the old fairgrounds 4 times in February. Came out with $4.36 in clad and 5 wheats. The 5th time out was waaaaaaay better! Only $1.41 in change but I also got a 1918-D Mercury dime and what I believe is a King George II half penny. I think it's a 1700's coin. I can see a left facing bust and the letters GEORGIVS and REX and on the back is BRITAN-NIA with a seated figure with shield holding a spear. The date is corroded along with most of the rest of it and it has a hole. But to me it looks GREAT!I'm just not sure if it's a half penny or a penny, it's almost as big as a large cent but thinner?
