Hello all!

I spent the day with Dan and George... We 10 + hours with George... Dan had prior camping plans and share a few hours with us... He did nab a nice deep KG II or III...

Its a site I've been to 3 times this year on private posted property...

This buckle was my last target... 12/27 12/29 @ 9-10"

Nice piece...

Now on to the coppers... I was on fire and they seemed to all pop pretty quickly... I was gridding a section that appeared to be the front yard... Same area that Dan nabbed his copper...

This one looks like its a King George I (1714-1727)

This is a bust face left... and if you loot at the reverse top... I can see a crown... Any thoughts?

sweet finds, I am dying to get anything from 1700's but my area of Ohio is not old enough, I need to take a detecting trip!
 
1) Is Brit. George I, last issued in 1724 (and looks like 21 or 24)

2) George I (1722-24) Woods Hibernia

3) Brit George I (1717/1:geek:

4) Irish George II Hibernia (1736-1755)
 
very cool digs. I think the coin is a George II. Hey I have the exact same buckle also from a cellar hole. Good going
 
Your last coin sure looks like a 1744-60 Farthing to me. http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/Br-IrishCopper.2.html
