My colonial field was nice to me today. My first Draped Bust+Conn. Copper!

First of all, don't hate me because I have an awesome honey hole. ;) I found coppers #8 & #9 yesterday, and #10 and #11 today. That makes 16 largies so far to come out of this one field since September! I am so pumped because not only did I find my first Draped Bust large cent during today's hunt, but also found my 3rd Conn copper, but this time the bust is facing right & and I actually have some detail on both sides. On top of that I found a big old silver ring, and also a smaller gold plated ring with an inscription inside that's etched in cursive. It's so tiny I can't make it out though. What a day!! HH all :cool:

* Update: Went back today (APR10) and sniffed out another Conn. Copper. This one is in rough shape, but I think it's a Hercules head type. Included wet and dry pictures. The field that keeps on giving!!

That CT copper is in better condition than any I've dug :envious:....and from a field?! Sweet!! :bananadance:
 
What great finds. I would really like to get myself a draped bust this year. :congrats: on all those keepers. Great field you are hunting.
 
I totally forgot to add the ID. Miller 3.3-F.3, so I guess if you came up with the same then I suppose I'm right. ::usaflag::

This is my favorite field of all time for sure!! Speaking of which... I need to go there right now... :detecting:
 
Gratz on your 1st draped Bust |:cheering: The Ct copper looks great, you got a nice field there please keep us posted
 
:wow: That really is a field of dreams!! :daydream:
Great finds!.... All of them! :drool:
Congrats! :grin:
