7,8 & 9TH COPPERS.DRAPED BUST HALF CENT

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

got out with foundationhunter to hit a site next to an open field. a few buttons and 3 coppers. 2 are totally wiped out one i think i can see the line where the date would be below.state copper or King George i'm guessin.never dug a half cent and have been wanting one badly.finally get one and its wasted :crying02: oh well least i know it's a draped bust half cent.these ground conditions are so brutal on these poor old colonial classics crying01

Very nice group of finds today. :clapping: Love the coppers. You are right, the ground is harsh on them.
Looks like an awesome place to hunt.
Congrats Dave and I hope you next ones are in much better shape.

Nice hunt Dave :clapping: Congrats on the 3 coppers. |:confused:) Half cents are not easy to find for some reason although you would think they should be :confused: I've got 5 or 6 of them and al least half of them are wiped pretty close to clean :crying02: It's all about location. That field may be hay now but it was fertilized at some point. Still nice to see big coppers come out of the ground thumbsup01

Nice finds Heavy. I know what you mean by bad ground. Ten. is bad also.
