Thread: Best Yard EVER! 10 Silvers & an unknown Copper!

  1. #1

    Best Yard EVER! 10 Silvers & an unknown Copper!

    First door I knocked on today. 6 of the quarters were in a spill next to a big old stump. The Franklin rang up as 01-49 at 2 inches deep. The Walker rang up as 01-50 at 6 inches deep. I won't even mention all the wheat pennies. Can anyone ID the copper for me? HH, Dave.

    After checking internet images, my guess is George III penny. But man, what a GREAT hunt!

    Thanks for the ID. Can you see the date in my picture or is that the only years they made that coin?

    Actually, it is probably 1806, I believe 1806 and 1807 were the only years, so what I thought might be a 5 or 6 at the end must be a 6.


    Added the date side photo of one of mine so you can see what the date should look like.

    Thanks Tony! I can't wait to MD the other half of that yard. It's quite large at about one acre (1/2 up front, 1/2 in the back). I'm surprised I didn't get any Indians or mercs though. The yard was tough to work though with TONS of iron signals and falsing every few inches. I might have missed the deeper fainter signals. My auto sensitivity hung around 20 the whole time.

    Daddy Digger maybe some time we can get together for a hunt when I visit my sister in Missouri. She live in
    Florissant right over the border. I plan on being there over the 4th of July holiday for a few days. That was a nice hunt by the way.
