Had a good day, found four large pennies

I can barely see the name Georgius on three. Looks like all are British from the 1700's. No pitting, all are worn thin but some detail can be seen. The upper left coin has 1775 date and Brittania, no date visible on the others. Searched two hours in a field. The coins and a fired musket ball were found, no other coins. Will go back there real soon, hope to find old silver. ID Edge with 10" coil.
 
These copper pennies are not in great shape but they say an awful lot about the possibilities in that field.
 
Did a little cleaning and looking closer at one of the coins I can clearly see a crown above a harp. No date can be seen. And a head facing right with III on the other side. Seems this is a William III penny, they were minted from 1698 - 1701. That would make it my oldest coin found. Going back there today with a friend who has a Safari, hope we can find old silver. Central Jersey.
