    Cold Connecticut

    I haven't been out in weeks , work has been busy and I (literally) have been doing lots of mechanical work on my jeep . So it was extremely good to just get out and swing the coil again , just a half day hunt and it was unusually cold in the "constitution state" , we hiked out a good mile or more to return to a site that was pretty good to us a couple of years ago . it was really quiet , My friend Rick scored a few buttons and iron shoe buckle frame , i did get a very large iron shoe buckle chape and the find of the day was this decent looking Connecticut copper .

    I love how a short hunt for you is half a day
    Nobody is as dedicated...and it paid off. Did you know it was a copper when you dug? I used to know pretty accurately when one was under my T2 but not with the nox, it's always a surprise.
    Congrats!

    Drew it was a solid 95 on the deus , a very fine almost horizonal line on the xy screen so it was either a copper or an oxknob
