    Nice digs Dave CT. Just a heads up, in the 8 years you have been away, there has been this relentless horde of detectorists in CT (many who frequent this forum) that have vacuumed nearly every last copper out of the ground. Well, maybe not really a horde of detectorist...more like a cabal. They find coppers by the dozens and GW buttons handfuls at a time. They are not happy finding regular brass shoe buckles, they have to find solid silver shoe buckles. If you see them coming to your town, the only thing known to mankind that will slow them down are white headed hornets. Good luck !
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank
