King Willian III Half Penny

This is my first Post here on this Forum. Last week I was having problems with my coin pouch zipper due to the muddy ground conditions of the spring thaw. I had a pretty good hunt because I found a silver Washington and a silver Roosevelt along with a token I could not identify in the field. Because of the sticking zipper I decided to leave the zipper open just enough to slip coins in so the mud wouldn’t damage the zipper any more. Well I ended up loosing the Roosevelt and the token.
I came up with a solution to the coin pouch problem. And promptly went back with the hopes of getting the dime back.
I back tracked my steps for a while then got side tracked and went to a different area. This spot was loaded with lots of signals and the machine was going nuts jumping all over. I did manage one repeatable target an it was a good one. A King William III Halfpenny. I found this in a very well hunted campground as this was my 26th time there.

Bummer about the dime and token. :angry: But I think it was a good trade off to hit the half penny. :yes:
Maybe you can re-find those items on your next trip there.
