George 111 guineas weigh 8.4 grams.
If this one doesn't, it isn't.

Easiest way to tell, in this particular case: George III wasn't even born yet in 1701.

I got an ace 250 a couple of months ago, it does me well, although I haven't found much useful with it, but it does detect well.

I found it a little bit awkward as it is set up to detect USA coins, but I would definitely recommend it for use in the USA, good luck
