One hole, four King George coppers

It has been slow going for a couple of weeks due to sparse targets, and little time to get out detecting. I was able to get out this morning for a little while and found three KG II's and what I believe is a KG III but will have to look closer to see if it is a KG I . Anyhow, these coins were all within a couple inches of each other right alongside of a stream, which was very convenient for cleaning them up a bit. They were at ten inches or more nestled underneath some roots, thank goodness I had my clippers with me to get them out of the way or I would still be there trying to work through the roots or around them.
This is the second KG pocket spill I have found along this stream, The first one was back in the mid 90's or so with my Sovereign XS and about five or six miles upstream....

Pro tip of the day.. Detect along the banks of streams.....
 
Whoa ho ho ho ho! That is awesome! Very nice!
 
Someone suggested on another site that I was talking about these finds that the fourth coin may be a king William half penny which would date it to the 1690s...
 
I'm Diggin it Gary. Congrats
 
Hmm. I get wheat cent pocket spills you get King George pocket spills....someone is hunting in the wrong spot.....guess who :rofl:

Congrats on such a great find! :thumbup:
 
Thanks Folks,

But ya know what Bell? The wheat cents fit in your pocket better... These are like walking around with a bunch of half dollars....
 
I hate you! :cheers:
 
lol... I was thinking of you and something witty to say when I was posting it....When you decide to saddle up and head east we will round you up a couple of these for yourself....

By the way I was kidding about carrying them in my pocket. I have my cotton ball lined container for finds like that...
 
Pickhead and I are heading out east this spring or summer. We will hit you up for sure!
 
Both of my KG spills were not very close to mills, but within a mile of where mills were.
 
Heheheh, i'am just teasing
 
Nice pocket dump! Looks like one of them must have been high grade when it was lost.
