Thread: 5 Copper Day with some "priceless moments"

    5 Copper Day with some "priceless moments"

    I see that Dave already described our busy weekend so I wont get into many details. The priceless moments I am referring to in my Title were when Thomas and Mike dug up their first Colonial Cellar Hole coins. Both of their coins were in beautiful condition. The smiles on their faces were "priceless". The biggest High lite of course was the success of the D.I.N.E hunt. My hats off to Dave Wise, Terry Charest, and Tim Matthew. They put a lot of work into making it all happen.
    Some of my finds from Saturday's hunt included a beautiful watch winder, 1787 Fugio Cent, 1820 Matron, 1844 Braided Hair an unidentifiable Copper and two new friends from Michigan and Tennessee. The Matron and Braided hair was a pocket spill for me in the same hole. We found 8 coppers together for the day. You can watch the hunt here with some great moments : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMVIlOh_z2k

    Great score on the braided hair and the fugio. Oh yeah, and the watch key. When I get home I might have to see that video on YouTube. I'm subscribed to Isaac and Tony...maybe I shall find the Thiltz on there.

    Great hunt guys. I appreciate the awesome northern hospitality. We really enjoyed our time hunting with you fellas and I appreciate the coin you let me dig and the one Dave brought and gave to me in Rhode Island. A time I will remember the rest of my life. Again thank you guys so much and your welcome to come to Tennessee anytime to hunt with me. There won't be any cellar holes but just a few civil war relics here and there which I'm sure would not be worth your trip being you fellas have the oldest of the old right there in your own back yards.
    One find at a time.
