Recently got back into detecting and when I previously detected years ago it was very limited. Bought a new garret at max and today on my 5th trip out Found my very first ever large Copper coin in a farm field. Coin is in pretty rough shape but good enough on face of coin to identify as a georgvis ll. Back is pretty smooth and can't get a date. Coin was minted between 1727-1760. Gotta say I'm pumped to have found it! My favorite find to date.

Congratulations on your first copper! It's always a thrill digging one, or any old coin. I haven't found one with the Max yet, but have found several with previous detectors. Good luck!!
Excellent find! Were you hunting in the deep true all metal mode or discriminate mode?

Pictured are some other recent finds from 2 different permissions. 3 Indians 1864, 1881 and 1883. 4 small buttons and a large damaged button. Also found these old nails or pegs???? There huge! But pretty cool.. now 2 long weeks ahead til my next detecting trip. That is unless I sneak out one evening........
