    Question about CT Coppers

    Sitting in my recliner as the rain pours down outside I decided to take another look at my 2 good CT coppers. On the 1st one that I found m33-34.z-11 if I am holding the coin so that the obverse is facing me, then if I flip the coin away from me then the reverse is sitting the way she should...

    CT Copper, 1/2 Penny token, IH and some Relics

    Decided to brave the weather today and go detecting. I went to the old farm house where Rob, Tim and myself went and got all those wheat pennies. This time I decided to go to the corn field as they were finally cutting the corn. Well not really cutting it but husking the corn leaving the stalks...

    Back to the field

    Had today off, sort of, and I had about an hour to hit the field again. Nothing great this time around but I did manage to get 2 cuff buttons and a 1906 IH in pretty decent shape. Thanks for looking and stay warm cause it was cold out there today.

    Dan drove up to my house this AM and after showing him the two other coppers that I had gotten from the field we were going to and looking at my military display we decided to hit the road.

    Anybody up for a hunt?

    Got permission to do a farm field in Westfield that I had done about 5 years ago with my old Prism IV. I only have permission to do where the corn was but I'm sure that there is enough area for at least one more. I plan on being in the field by 10am so if anybody is interested PM me. Al

    Got out this afternoon for a short 2 hour hunt. Decided to go to a spot which in the past has produced, LC's, seated, Barber, IH First keeper would be the 1941 wheat. A little while later I got what I think might be a watch winder. I really hate to say this BUT "on the way back to the car" I...

    KG II and Heel PLate

    Went back to the field where I got the MASS button. It's really peaceful there meaning there is nobody around. Decided to run in just the Coin program and got a couple of goodies. The first one is the heel plate with the heart and the second one is a KG II. Pretty sure the date is 1756 Thanks...

    Early MASS button - Seated - CWT

    Decided to hit a field that I have been to in the past. I was really just expecting some wheats, boy did I underestimate. When I arrived there a guy was mowing the lawn and I noticed that he had made about a foot cut into the tall weeds so that was where I started. The first dig was the 1841 O...
