My Saturday Morning Hunt,(1 Off the bucket list.) With Rob and Al.

[MassDirtFisher]

I met Rob and AL around 830, a little late start due to the weather, We hit 2 spots, an older park that has produced in the past and a small field where I nabbed a 1/2 dollar last year. Well the small park did not really pan out today, still some frozen spots, and wet wet soil. So after a bit we needed a quick Dunkin warm up. After a recharge we hit the small field, not many finds to be had, so I kept at it, I saw Rob scored a nice copper, I was now motivated to score something. After another 30 minutes of digging , I hit a 50..ish..back to 40...to 60 ish target at 3.5 , I cut the plug , flipped it and on an angel was this copper disc. I saw it was a smoothie and showed Rob the plug with the on edge print of the copper. He was impressed, well not much more from me, a few spoons, some wheats, and clad. Until I soaked the copper and noticed a date of 1787.....and an eagle ...I put 1 and 1 together and got 2. Cross one off. Massachusetts Copper.

Little bit Happy. Happy Hunting !!! Thanks for looking!!!

Tim, way to go. You and Rob each scored coppers. I'm starting to think that this site had a very early home on it before the Nobels. Thats 3 coppers from this field.
