cellar detecting in the snow today

[del]

hello all this weeks episode started off at 5 am. with snow flurries most of the night an into tha morning , needles to say the roads were a little slick in spots and the G-man and i had a pre-cellar hole adrenalin rush when the jeep lost control :shocked04: :shocked04 sometimes George likes to fall asleep so i get creative on waking him up lol . well we got to our destination in one piece lol lol and it was pretty as a postcard out side in them woods and we decided to hit a new area ( my idea ,it was a mill site with a cellar foundation very nearby) i wasn't there 10 minutes and pull out a 1757 King George II copper :shocked04: thumbsup01 ( yeah here we go ) . but for the next four to five hours just relics (Spoons, buttons an oxknob :bangahead01: odds and ends and a copper mans wedding band ) finally another copper :smitten: a very worn draped bust but i can just make out the date 1797 but i'll take it . later i get home and notice the one spoon has the Washington D.C. Capital on it . so i'll have to find some more info on it .hey thanks for looking .

Great finds! Love the coppers, and the spoon. I really don't know how you two do it.

Hey everyone, just got done removing my finger imprints from Dan's dashboard rofl He sure doesn't let you sleep much. The toilet paper must be for him lol lol That first picture doesn't do the scene justice. The snow was all over everything, just like a Christmas card lol Dan has finally woke up from the copper glum syndrome, now maybe he'll take it easy on me here :tongue: Come on Dave, it's your turn now oke: Congrats on a great day Dan, 2 coppers for the kettle, some great relics. Great spoons!!! But you forgot to mention our pet dogs rofl :shocked04: :shocked04: I did OK today. NO COPPERS lol but I found one of the nicest Crotal bells I ever found. In super shape and it looks like a 2 piece seamed version. I think it's older than the usual ones we get. Some new lead, old lead, scrap lead. Pewter spoon, enough lighting parts to light Manhattan :huh: etc.. etc.. The D buckles are killing me, they must be cousins to the ox knob :crying02: My one and only real chance at a copper was the clad quarter that had that wire touching it. I almost went over it and had to remove the wire in order to get the quarter...lucky me lol Lots of wild life today, our 2 dogs :shocked04: some chasin' chipmunks, deer and wild turkey. Who needs the zoo

I Googled them dogs lol and after viewing pictures of wolves and coy dogs, I am pretty convinced it's a wolf or possibly a wolf coyote mix, but not the traditional coyote/dog mix.
And the curse is still on since you knew the sites were there but I actually found it, so you score big on my locations lol Get it The curse comes next weekend when you pick one of your other sites :yes:

You know it's a bad day when your first 3 solid copper readings are D buckles and a clad quarter. MY advice? Don't fight it, just give in and take your beating :bop: lol lol

G go look at my thread from yesterday.i think i found the button some guy lost ,then you found ,then lost, then i found rofl

I gotta try and find that button again (lost again) It's somewhere with my other 1000 buttons rofl

Thanks John. That Crotal bell is good size, I don't know how someone missed it right next to the hole It looks like a pretty old one. Well made though. I wish it had initials instead of No.4. Then I could tell who made it. But a good amount of relics found at a hit hole.

That's probably what it is. I though the last letters were a E and a ?, but they could be one letter H. I wish I found the whole thing Thank's for doing the leg work

no problem , i was looking at that copper wedding band that i found and it has an 18k stamp on the inside go figure. and i'm getting a blank on the spoon even though its stamped Arnold mfg. co. on the back.

Congrats to you, Dan, on two great coppers! It is good to see you back on the copper boards. You guys are already killing it and we haven't even started our season. :twirlingeyes:

That cellar hole looks prime for the picking. I see a Birch cent in your near future. Feel it, man, it will be under your coil. :grin:

Get ready for us, Dan, because we are going to be filming our adventures this year. We are all going to get our coppers and relics on film. It should be fun doing it and I hope you guys will enjoy the archives from the PA frontier. 8)
