4 Coppers and a CoLoNiAl sIlVeR!!

[sniffy]

So today I had a late start...I was trying to decide where I wanted to unleash the T2. I've been wanting to locate a site that has apparantly been hiding right under my nose for a couple years now. So I drive out to my normal parking spot and realize that there is a half a foot of snow on all my sites.....and to be honest....i just didn't feel like cross country skiing. what to do what to do EUREKA! I've had a field site on stand by now for quite awhile...I retrieved permission and tried it with the prizm but the grass was so high my machine fasled every step so I gave up quickly. This site is one of the main reasons I decided to purchase a new machine. The final straw that broke the camels back. So driving down the road I was pleased to see the landowners vehicles parked in the driveway....pulling up I was greated by a barking dog and 2 of the sons wrenching on a broken plow. I told them who I was and they recalled me being in the field before and said have a ball. There was snow here to which was actually to my advantage, it pushed all the grass further down to the ground. I turned my machine on, hit the settings, ground balanced and started swinging.....automatically signals were blaring...alot of iron but I isolated a button within the first 5 minutes....this was a GREAT sign. The rest of the hunt was nothing short of exciting. It seemed that each signal I dug was either a button or coin. The coppers were all dug simultaneosly. This was awesome. The coppers ended up being...1798 Draped Bust, Fugio Cent, 1724 King George I, and another shot King George I (no date). These were all dug in about 20 minutes. So after my heart slowed down and a couple buttons and broken shoe buckle later I located an awesome solid 92 at 8 inches deep. I knew this was something special, it was such a bright signal and very small when pinpointing. Seeing the shine of silver after diggin 4 early coppers is hard to describe. At first I thought old merc or barber was gonna tease me, but WALLAH....HISPAN was the first thing i seen....1781 reale..Very exciting little peice of silver. Today was a memorable day and hopefully just the beggining of a very productive site. Thanks for lookin folks!

Hopefully it does. The T2 is a very sensitive machine.

There's an old colonial homesite in the middle of the field. As for the coppers....ugh....they were beaten pretty ruthlessly. The Fugio is in the works......the other 3 have been tossed into the box.....far beyond repair. I'll try to post some pics of the coppers ....cleaned....if thats what you wanna call it.....it's hard to say if i'll ever get a proper ID on the fugio.

Wo! Those are great finds. If they don't cut the field it might be worth it to take your lawn mower and do it yourself. Just kidding but, a little bit of work may reap you some good rewards.
