    Broke a record tonight for most coppers in one hunt

    I got out tonight with GKMan to a new site we researched. We both did very well. I broke my record of 6 coppers in one dig with 8 coppers tonight. I haven't cleaned them up yet but they are KGs, Drapes, Matrons, and a NJ or Irish
    We were there 3 hours and the amazing thing was there was no trash to speak of. Great night

    You gotta let me in on how you research a place with that many finds and no trash. Lol I'm not kidding. Congrats on the ridic amount of coppers.

    Bell, I am quite sure he will go back. I would, but I might think of it now as a fall-back place when a new place doesn't provide any good finds.

    What he said.

    Also, I must point out that you have somehow forgotten to list the GPS coordinates for this site.

    4 of them are KGs and one of the 4 is by far the best shape of a KG I've ever found. There are 2 1803 Drapes in OK shape A 1810 LC and a yet to be ID'd coin in rough shape. I'm going to clean slowly and I will show them when I'm done.
    Thanks for all the comments gang.

    There are 9 coins total I forgot one thin one with a hole in it in my pouch last night I just found it a minute ago. Its totally smooth.
