Fugio and KG II with Drew

[Lodge Scent]

I hadn't been able to get out in a while so I was happy to join Drew for a quick morning hunt. Last time we had been out we passed a hunk of woods that had potential. Drew did some tenacious research and found evidence that there was indeed an old home site back in there.

He had us on the site after a short hike. Drew still had his mojo working and starting pulling some nice relics in no time from around the cellar hole area. I wandered around a bit and soon hit a pistol ball and then a toasty KG II.

A little while later a got a screamer of a hit but it sounded too big to be a coin. I was guessing it was a big brass relic or some copper flashing or similar so I dug a huge hole so as not to ding whatever it was. I was really surprised when it turned out to be a Fugio at about 6 inches. I've dug Fugios before and none ever sounded like that.

The coin is porous but the obverse has some good detail. Reverse is pretty toasted.

Found a length of copper brake line out in the middle of the woods. You just never know what you might find.

Congrats on the KG and Fugio. A Fugio is high on my wish list.

the back of that fugio is sweet Jeff great find :cheering:

Love the break line :lol:
Double copper days are few and far between!
No more on that KG?
My take is below...not bad for a short hunt. That place might really come alive when the leaves shrivel up. I wish I could have kept going! Congrats Jeff!!

Huge congrats! I've always been fascinated by Fugio cents even as a kid, but have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding one in the Midwest. :clapping:

beautiful Fugio!

Thanks folks!

Dan, I thinking the reverse is a Newman E? The right side of the "O" in One is very thin as is the top of the right side of the "N".

WTG on the F-U-G-I-O!

Even if toasted, how come you didn't take a pic of the other side? This side looks really good, tho. Congrats on the score. Still wishing I could find one; I'm in the right area to.

Drew, that is a nice Dandy.
