The coppers from yesterday left me wanting some more :cheesysmile: so today late in the day I headed to the same spot to see if anything else could be coaxed out of the ground. There wasn't much this time, but I did manage one more copper, and this one held up very well. :smitten: :smitten:

Here are the photos. The first two as found, and the last two when cleaned. She is a beauty. :loveit:

Yeah, they usually take a beating. :shocked04:stretcher: This one was in soil that has very good drainage though, so that helped her maintain her 'youth'. :smitten:

She screamed 'dig me' alright. :smitten: The Fe/Co numbers were high too when using the probe, hitting Fe/Co of 10-47. :loveit: I was seeing Draped Bust quarters flash before my eyes. lol She was no deeper than 8.5. :yes: The ground at the site can be difficult at some spots though, so swinging slow is just about mandatory.
 
That is one beautiful large cent. Cleaned up very nicely! :yes:

By the way, where did you find your E-Trac copper magnet coil? :confused: lol
 
Another beauty for the collection . :peace:

I can't believe the nice condition of some of these coppers that you and others members have been posting lately. I still can't take my eyes off Pauls KG in found in NH last week. :omg:
 
That surely is a beauty, Angel! It must have been lost not long after it was minted, and the ground was very kind to it. Soon to be 200 years old, it boggles the mind!

Excellent find! :clapping:
 
Way to go Angel, That 1819 is great looking. What the cleaning method? Congrats on a great find, can I bring my 1819 over to you for cleaning:huh:thinkingabout:LOL
 
:shocked04: That one cleaned up beautifully. :smitten:
I would love to pull one in that shape sometime this year.
Congrats Angel on a great coin.
