I missed this one. Trimes don't show up enough under my coil, only have one. Make sure you bring a large enough finds pouch for all those staters Dan. I'm retiring the end of this year. A UK trip next year is on my to do list. Save a few staters for me please.

The only thing that I can think of that would be better than finding a couple of gold staters is finding a pot full of them. Good for you Todd! Your friends in the UK won't let you back in if you keep that up. ;)

Dan, I have a 100, 180 and the 200 foam blocks. The 100 makes quick work on tombacs. Just lay the block flat, place the tombac on the pad and using various degrees of pressure, just move the button around on the pad until you get that crud layer off. Then I might switch to the 180 or the 220 to...

Dan, a Liberty Cap for your first copper of the year is a good omen! Tough call on to further clean or not. If I was to do anything I might burnish it a bit with my 220 grit foam sanding block. It is slow going but very precise.

Hey Thanks guys! Reb, it seems that these days it site like that are about the only place to finds some goodies. Tony, that site was active from about 1750 to 1850, so any time in that span. Dan, I think between the carpenter ants destroying the oaks, fuzzy aphids and nematodes killing the...

This is a cellar hole site I've been hunting for 12 years. It used to be wide open with plenty of room to swing a coil but now you can be standing 2 feet from it and not see it. I somehow managed to pull an 1827 Matron and a nice stick pin right from that tangled mess. The Matron was on edge...

Good score on the DB Rebel. I'll take that trigger guard any day as well.

Great projectile!

Awesome!!

That is so cool looking!

I think the update has a lot of upside. I've been wanting a multi-Reactivity option for a long time! This will be fun. Todd you are so right about the youtuber "experts". I have no interest in hearing about their programs unless the explain why they chose those settings. None of them ever do.

On the news this morning they said the last Lincolns minted will be a special very limited "Omega" version, and expected to be worth $2 to $5 million to collectors. That's a lot for a stinkin zincon.

Well, you can borrow mine for half of the gold.

I've been hitting this site for 15 years and it is the first silver it has produced. It's given up plenty of US and British coppers, buttons and homestead relics but not a single silver until today. Jeff

Agreed on the Half Cents Dan. I only have one. But that makes sense as you have found about 6 times more coppers than I have. Using that factor of 6 logic, I am guessing you have dug 5,000 to 6,000 buttons over the years?

You are the King of Copper Dan. Your pile of Fugios is epic. How about Half Cents? Do you have many of those? I've sometimes notched out those 99s when hunting in 53 kHz range. I get tired of the granite giving me that soft high squeak. The higher frequencies definitely push up the VDIs on the...

I have a 2 kopek and have only seen a few posted over the years. Not a common find.

That one is a beauty !

Good work there Rebel. Those kopeks do have some meat to them!

Great hunt Dan. I had better start digging those 99s. :) The D1 was a button killer and the D2 is finding the ones the D1 missed. I used to use the XY screen but got away from it for some reason. I can't remember why to be honest.;)1000 coppers is hard to fathom Dan, it truly is. How many 10+...
