Coppers #37,38,39 from Sundays Virgin Cabin site

[Thiltzy]

Three more coppers today making that 12 out of this site. Targets were almost non existent for the 1st couple hours, thinking we must had done a good job at cleaning the site out last week, when Dave called out copper. Then as if Dave had called out to the copper gods... our coils suddenly heated up |:confused:)
I got my 1st New Jersey Copper, a Connecticut copper and an early 1700 mystery coin. As you can see in the pics, the coin is smaller than the rest. I believe the date is 1727 :thinkingabout:

:congrats: Great finds ! I know the feeling of being at a virgin site and it's the best feeling knowing your the first ones to uncover a bunch of history and a good variety of finds. That cellar hole should keep you busy for awhile . |:cheering:

Nice to find a site that gives up so many coppers. There is a Spanish silver still lurking there somewhere...or maybe early American silver :drool: :drool: :drool: lol

Thanks everyone, the first pic of all the briars is where the well is. Most of the 12 coppers were found in those briars. I spent most of my time swinging in those thorns and it paid off. :blackeye:

congrats on the coppers the small one does look to be a George the Ist but its a half penny (they are normally a bit smaller than the usual George II and III coins ) and the dump coins (1717 an 1718) are even smaller still. how many coins total now from this spot ?? 10-12?? now your starting to get into the virgin cellar numbers , could be just the tip of the iceberg . my best had almost 60 coins but no silver.


when you an Dave think you got it all George an I will come down an find the rest for you two boys ;) keep at it :yes:
