Nice cellar hole hunt with DEL - I smell coppers

2 questions? how can you say that site was hit pretty hard?look at the finds that popped out.whoever hit it sucked badly as a detectorist.
is that CT copper a counterfeit perhaps? that shnoz is humungous! rofl

Dave, the targets that were large can be figured out to be large by pinpoint mode. There were also lots of large scrap signals too. The three coins found were just missed because of the huge fields to search. Everyone misses a couple of coins in that much area. A virgin site would have had coppers and some Spanish silver, along with buckles and large buttons all over the place, especially nearer the hole. We didn't get those. If it were unhit, I would expect at least a dozen coppers between the two of us. Only large targets, masked targets, or low conductive (Tombac Types) of targets were found. I'm sure the Conn copper was on edge. That's why I found it and they didn't. It wasn't hit well, since it in the middle of nowhere lol, but it was cherry picked for the coins, and better brass targets. And as for the nose on that Conn copper?? It's the Jimmy Durante version rofl I'll have to look it over better, sometimes corrosion makes coins look different than they are. But if it is a huge tunnel, it's probably a counterfeit :yes:

Yea, usually they are slugs lol But if you hit an area that was popular around 1920, then you have a better chance of finding ones with dates. If you hit a site that was popular in the 1940's you will still find them since they were in pocket change right up into the 60's, but they will be dateless This one was at a colonial cellar hole and was out of place there. It was most likely dropped by a hunter right around 1917, or 18. Now I think I'll go and polish it on my buffing wheel :shocked04: :crazy: Just kiddin'

Thanks Kirk, We both had a good day and we are heading back there for our 4th visit to this site. So far 5 1/2 coppers have come out of the 2 cellar holes that are there. But it is a lot of work to find them, they hide well lol. Hope we have some nice relics to show everyone, if not it's Del's fault oke: lol
