got out with foundationhunter to hit a site next to an open field. a few buttons and 3 coppers. 2 are totally wiped out one i think i can see the line where the date would be below.state copper or King George i'm guessin.never dug a half cent and have been wanting one badly.finally get one and its wasted :crying02: oh well least i know it's a draped bust half cent.these ground conditions are so brutal on these poor old colonial classics crying01

hey sweet day of finds Dave :happydance01: :happydance01: its extremely tough to get a nice copper out of a farm field especially one still being used by the farmer :bangshead02: but at least your copper totals are climbing :cheering: :cheering: how did Gary do :huh: congrats on your first half cent :peace: :peace:
 
Very nice group of finds today. :clapping: Love the coppers. You are right, the ground is harsh on them.
Looks like an awesome place to hunt.
Congrats Dave and I hope you next ones are in much better shape.

thanks Dan,i don't think these fields been farmed for years.they just hay it.gary got a ornate shoe buckle frame and a thimble.was a good day.windy as heck and bummed about the half cent but,overall a good day out

Congrats :grin:
thanks! yep it's a lead bag seal.i wish i knew more about these :confused:
 
Nice hunt Dave :clapping: Congrats on the 3 coppers. |:confused:) Half cents are not easy to find for some reason although you would think they should be :confused: I've got 5 or 6 of them and al least half of them are wiped pretty close to clean :crying02: It's all about location. That field may be hay now but it was fertilized at some point. Still nice to see big coppers come out of the ground thumbsup01
 
Nice day of coppers,yep most old coins around here get fried in the ground too :bangahead01:
Great hunt and finds!
