    Broke outta my copper slump!cellar holes with Todd * 4 coppers & 2 shoe buckles

    Todd & me went back to a site we found a couple weeks ago.this time we fanned out and fanned back in was working a iron infested area near the well and was able to pluck out 3 coppers.funny how ya been over a area then for some strange reason ya go back and it's like whoa how did i not hear these signals before.
    nabbed another copper at a cabin site we had found a few weeks ago.
    was gettin late in the day and Todd said hey .Ya wanna go back up to the site where I dug my Script Artillery button months ago.
    I said sure lets go. swinging about 10 mins and todd says hey grab your stuff i found another cellar hole!
    that site didn't contain alot of targets but i grabbed 2 shoe buckles to end the day.
    nice way to break out of a month long copper slump.coins were a KGI,KGII, 1827 matron head and a 1848 Braided hair
    Todd did awesome as well!

    Congrats on breaking the slump. Only 67 coppers this year- that's one hell of a slump
    4 coppers, 2 shoe buckles & a bunch of buttons, I'd say that's an awesome day.

    Very nice bunch of finds for sure I've always wanted to try an MXT pro but never have, I already know what the MXT is capable of.

    Sunday was a another great day Dave. We've been killing it at these sites!
    Folks, trust me when I say that no one is happier than I am about Dave breaking out of his month long copper slump. I was starting to fear for the safety of my equipment and constantly checking my back pack to make sure my coins weren't walking away... Besides, it's no fun hunting with a grumpy partner

    I am very happy you had a good day Dave,
    Sincerely
