    First Copper 2017

    Hi friends, Most of this week my car was on the fritz so I returned to hitting my own yard. I don't know if it was the soaking rain or my improved skills (probs the rain) ... but I hit lots of targets. The copper was about 100 yrds from my house. The large dandy was on a footpath I've been over a million times...and it was a screamer! I think the copper is 1832. The horse brush, 1920s radio plate, and a few buttons were found at another site. The bird tag is from the Birmingham Tumbler Pigeon Club.
