After A Long Winters Nap - Copper!

[The Rebel]

Well it's been a LONG, COLD & DREADFUL WINTER!

Sure felt good to be digging in the dirt again.

Was back at an old site of mine that I can only get to in the fall, winter or very early spring due to all the prickers. Last time I was here I brought my loppers with me to cut some of them down.

Well today I was rewarded with a small button, tough to read but looks like it might say Endicott and an 1817 Cornet LC.

Come on Spring!

That's the way to do it Rebel ! Those briars will be growing back with a vengance soon enough.

Large cents coming out of the ground usually aren't worth much, but I love to find them. Nice find to start out the year.

very nice outing Roger :congrats: I suspect the button says "Benedict" as in Benedict & Burnham or A.Benedict or Benedict & Coe or Benedict and Burnham.

Nice to get out again isn't it Roger? Gongratz on getting out and adding a copper to your collection:clapping:

[Digger Don]

Congrats on the copper. Happy to see people are finally getting out and digging coins again.

[The Rebel]

Thanks guys! Yea It was warm enough that all I had to wear was just a long sleeve shirt.

Was about 53 :thumbsup01: and today......32 :ticked:

Actually it's my 2nd LC of the year but that was way back in Jan before the Arctic blast froze us solid for the last month and a half.

Thanks for the info about Benedict :thumbsup01:
