    1st Hunt Of 2021 - 1st Copper

    Got out with Frank on Sat to some new sites as well an old one we had hit at the end of 2020. We pounded the place and were rewarded with a few goodies. Copper is a CT.

    That button might be a whizzer? ...and jaw harps are so rare. The CONN part of CTs is always visible. Real old pewter button! Good day, Roger! How'd Frank do?

    Funny that you mention wizzer as Frank said the same thing but I'm leaning towards a button that the shank got broken off.

    Frank did ok as well, got a very small coin which had some marks on it to make it look to be a Liard.

    Nice hunt Rebel. You managed something from each of the 3 major food groups: coppers, buttons and relics.
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank
