Hello everyone, I'm Sam and I'm 14 years old from Southern Massachusetts. I'm new to detecting and have been detecting for around a year and a half, I do like to consider myself very dedicated to the hobby though.

I have managed a few good finds from a local cellar hole and some local parks, and even though I don't get out very often I'm always looking for new spots to hunt.

Here are some of the things I've found.

Hey Sam is that a Russian 1812 2 Kopeks copper?? Also I'm taking a stab at your dateless Liberty Cap and saying it is a Gardner Liberty Cap and maybe a 1795. Basing that on the very flattened top of the cap, the distance from the hair to the letter R in Liberty and on the shape of the pointy bust by the cap pole end. Hopefully either of the Don's can chime in. I'm not betting the house on it:lol: but I will bet someone with real knowledge of large cents could tell you what variety it is. I'm assuming the back side is shot?

Wow, you have found some really amazing coins! I would be dedicated to the hobby too if I had found oldies like that!
I can only dream of finding a Liberty Cap here in Illinois. :smitten:

Glad you could join us, and we will be looking forward to your future finds. :yes:

Yes that is a 1812 Russian 2 Kopek Copper, and thanks for the possible information on the liberty cap, I myself am not very experienced on varieties and have never heard of a Gardner Liberty Cap but thank you! And yes unfortunately there is nothing left of the back.

Hey Sam ,welcome to the forum from central Maryland. I started collecting coins when I was 7yrs old. Got me a radio shack detector when I was 10 and got board with it. If I had only stuck it out ,I can only wonder my collection today. I got back into detecting in March 2011 with a Bounty hunter and have found some amazing stuff which have gotten me back into my collection. It`s good to see a young buck. Keep it up.
