This is 1 of 2 coins we recently found. It's really hard to see the detail, but I think it's 1806 halfpenny. Details I have are: 28mm dia; head is facing to the right; Brittania is facing to the left. Would love some feedback or if anyone knows what it is, please let me know.

This is the second coin we found on the same day. This one's even tougher to identify. One side has almost no detail. This side shows (I think) 1852. I can just make out some detail belonging to Britannia facing to the right. It measures 29mm dia. My guess is a halfpenny again.

Yeah agree on the 1806 coin and being a 1/2 penny. The other one looks like 1862 rather than 1852 because the date is below Brittania and also a 1/2d.

Good ages. Pity about the condition. Hopefully a few silvers are hiding there too. Well worth a return visit if you can.
