2 CRUSTY COPPERS

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Well i went back to a couple pounded sites and all around the cellar holes were real quiet.decided to wander way back trampling through briars and stepping over down rotted trees for 8 hours I worked these 2 sites and not alot of targets left.but I managed 2 worn crusty coppers(this site I took Dan to 3 years ago and one coin came out a 1717 KGI 2 feet in front of cellar hole).not even a hint of what they once were oh well....that's how it goes when your hunting these colonial sites.a piece of broken shoe buckle ,a lone button and a portion of escuctcheon plate made the tear drop in todays hunt total finds picture.the highlight of my hunt has to be the unbroken bottle i saw glimmering in the sun under some leaves by a rock wall.

Two crusty coppers are great finds when there is nothing else. I've got quite a few of those. When I get one that nothing will bring out the design, I use steel wool on it . I've got some King george coppers and large cents that I couldn't see any design on them till I took steel wool to them. One I was able to bring out the date. I wouldnt do it to something that I thought was worth something. but on some of the bad ones if you can bring out some detail, you can probably find out what it is, or was. ;I'd rather get crusty coppers than getting skunked.)

You are speaking my language there. Dirty pennies are our bread and butter. Those two are really old and dirty. Very good specimens.

I also like that local druggist bottle. Those are so nostalgic they make me weep sepia.
