Thread: 4th Large CopperThis Week.

    4th Large CopperThis Week.

    I was working an area 20 feet from a cellar hole. Merc and I hit this place fairly well, so my plan was to dig fringe signals, maybe dig some overloads to remove the iron. I dug 3 old nails in one hole, got slightly aggravated, got up, moved my coil about 4 ft from where I was excavating, and got a super strong repeatable. Beethoven could have heard it...and he's dead (hey, Beethoven was alive when this coin was minted). I'm calling it an 1818.
    Anyone know if the buckle is a sash? The two pins are brass, as the forks swivel beautifully. It must be ornamental as it is too delicate for any real pressure.
    The dandy is just that

    congrats on the matron largie Drew , i'd agree with your thoughts on the buckle if its very fragile and delicate.
