Thread: 4 1700's Copper Day!

  1. #1

    4 1700's Copper Day!

    April 2, 2016 – Spent a full day detecting a vacant 1790 homestead. This house has been occupied up to the last couple of years or so. Brought home a 1795 capped bust LC, 1798 draped bust LC, (2) no dates KG and a Dengremont Clothing 1887 Advertising token (not pictured). My hunting partner for the day, Jon, also found (2) KG’s and an 1805 half cent. It was the first time we hunted together and if he’s going to bring me that kind of luck I’m taking him every time.

    Seeing that he was pretty much detecting in my backyard I figured I'd extend an invitation. Nice guy and looking forward to more hunts in the future!

    I've had a few good conversations with Jon and agree he is a nice guy , he gave me an invite to come out about a week or two ago .

    hey that picture of the liberty cap just doesn't do it any justice Brian , how about a better one for the banner ?

    Well, If you do come out this way hopefully I can meet up with you guys. I also agree my picture sucks. I'll see what I can do.
