This for sure ^^^^. However my "best" find for me personally is still this 1854 penny from an old pub site, and the value is all sentimental. It's not the oldest by a long shot, nor the best preserved, but it's the first of the big early copper pennies I found. I'd picked up a couple of the later bronze Britannia pennies out at our farm before, but I wasn't even aware that there were older, bigger ones in use in Australia at that point! It was also the first coin I found by researching and planning a trip. It's also got an awesome flecked patina that I've never quite seen the same on any other of my finds:
