The George 111 Cartwheel Penny is the coolist bronzed/copper coin, I love finding them, no pics but if you Google Pictures of Coins U K The Penny ,you will see what I am talking about. When you pass the Explorer over the Cartwheels they blow your headphones off. Good Luck and hope you find many more.

Yep good find congratulations - we get a lot of those here in the plowed fields out on Eastern Long Island where the Brits staged themselves for about 6 years during the Revolutionary War - I typically find one each trip out - too bad the copper gets so chewed up after 250 years in the ground ...

any 1700s coin is nice no matter what shape!
