Hi all,

I and @greenmountaindiggers hit some new permission properties in the Champlain Valley over the past two weekends, one in VT and one in NY, one of which is a privately owned historic site. I think in total we dug about 20 coppers, 9 more of which found my coil along with a number of relics. Surprisingly no old silver for us (US or Spanish), but that's how it goes. Really happy with the Liberty Cap Cent, only my 4th and tough to come by in this hobby, even here in the old country of New England. Here's some pics of my finds below from the multi-day haul. Thanks for looking.

So many wonderful finds, but that 1796 Liberty Cap is the crown jewel! :wow:

All things considered it's in great shape with a clear date! It may be the nicest of all the US coppers you found!

:congrats:
