After yesterday's hunt I couldn't wait to hit the same site again, so this afternoon I drove up there and finished the section I had been working. From there I picked up a few wheat cents and a silver Roosevelt dime. After working that area for a while I wandered off to another section, and from there I dug up a few more wheat cents, a mercury dime, three Indian Head cents, a 1865 2-Cent piece, and a King George II copper. Not as great a hunt as my previous one, but just as fun. :yes:

The silver and Indian Head cents.

Here are the Indian Head cents after cleaning them up.

The 2-Cent piece cleaned up well, though it still has a green crusted area on the obverse.

The King George II copper. It's in poor shape. Wondering, I took a closer look at yesterday's CT Copper, and it turns out that I misidentified the coin (not the first time I do such when rushing). :embarrassed: So the one from yesterday is also another King George copper. :yes:

I also dug up three old buttons.

The The King George II copper might not be perfect, but it's sure a beauty to me. :yes:

I cleaned the 2-Center by bathing it in hot peroxide, followed by several applications of coin conditioner. :yes: And you have me confused with some other master guy. lol I'm just an experienced detectorist having fun playing in the dirt. :happydance01:
