After Friday's bust of a hunt I was really wanting to get out again Saturday to save what humility I had left Sorry Jim the friday hunt was a disappointing one but sometimes this is what you get on new sites .
So Saturday I meet "the boys" and we head out just before sunrise , all dressed for hunting season we saw a couple of hunters on the way to the first sight. Not even twenty minutes into detecting i get my first copper , it wasn't great signal and only one way because of iron nearby. I retrieve the nail head and said to myself (this didn't make that tone) so sure enough i went over the hole again and i get a solid copper tone that was a couple inches deeper in the hole . even though it was a bit dark still I could see the rings on the reverse .
a 1787 fugio penny and now the pressure was off me and on Dave and Todd . just after I shown them the coin I saw the sun rise up through the trees so i snapped a picture.
One thing not to do around Dave and Todd is to put pressure on them to produce finds very shortly Todd had a copper , then Dave finds a coins spill and well not just any coin spill either , lucky ???
Before we moved on from that site I did recover a trime of my own
The rest of the day just produced a few buttons (all pretty common flat or tombac types) a couple of large caliber musket ball (one dropped) and a trio of shoe buckle chapes that someone "strung" together which I thought was pretty unusual and cool.
a couple location or action shots
the days goods
the trime leaned up
1852
a better shot of the fugio , its the "united states" reverse type when i get it cleaned up i'll post more picture of it .
Thanks again Dave & Todd for a great day .
