Hunted a park in Dover Delaware today. I got a sweet 12 - 46 target and expected it to be another quarter. LO and BEHOLD, out pops this really nice 1721 KING GEORGE I HALFPENCE!! AND I DIDN'T SCRATCH IT! Totally unexpected. It's the oldest coin I've found to date. Finds like this is why I love this hobby. I'm happy as a little girl!

Outstanding !!!
The oldest coin I found yet is a 1828 Large Cent where I live in Ohio.
Right now I'm in Maine for three weeks doing some work on a family members house - really hope to to find any type of coin with a 1700's date on it while I'm here !
Again, great job on finding the 1721 King George !!!

That's a nice one good job 
That coin is in great shape - most of the King Georges I am finding here on Long Island are pitted pretty bad.
In England - they call those large milled coppers greenies and just toss them to the side - found about 20 of them when I went over for a week in March.
Great find - congratulations.
