Park This Morning

[OxShoeDrew]

Started out at dawn...felt great, nice breeze 71, manageable humidity...then for some reason fog rolled in and it turned oppressively humid. I'm not certain why I'm giving a weather report :dontknow:
The copper was at 10in!! I saw a cottontail 5min before I found that cufflink!
That's today's report...I know you were all anticipating my comings and goings :lol:

 

[Full Metal Digger]

Cool finds! Is the religious guy silver? I don't recognize the largie. Is it a KG1? Glad you were able to get out and make some finds despite the weather. HH, Dave.

It must be nice to enjoy a quick hunt at a local park and find a 250+ year old coin! Still some decent detail on the obverse, is the reverse wiped?

 

[Digger_O'Dell]

Good finds! Yeah, our midwest weather has been goofy hot and humid too the past several days. Now its dropped to the 60s!

 

[OxShoeDrew]

Thank you, guys...The reverse isn't wiped but it's well on its way!

 

[Lodge Scent]

That's pretty cool when you can find oldies way below the newer stuff Drew. I for one appreciate a good weather report, so keep those coming please. I haven't been out detecting since June 21. The gross hot and humid weather has something to do with that, so I admire your hardiness to brave the elements.

I am very fond of those old coppers but the rabbit cufflink (Peter Cottontail ?) is the find of the day.

 

[OxShoeDrew]

Thanks Dave, I think it's a William III half penny 1694-1701..but someone will chime in to correct me :lol:
I love that little rabbit, Jeff! I wish the outside was gold! Thanks!

 

[OxShoeDrew]

Maybe something like this.. haven't found an exact match yet...

That rabbit pin is from The Tale of Peter Rabbit, its the same image from the book cover , I'm guessing it could be from the early 1900s.Congrats all around!

Wow, how did you know that, Scott? mg:

 

[Cooper]

Those are some nice finds I to like to hear all the details paints a better picture when I read it

 

[Lodge Scent]

LOL...I meant to say Peter Rabbit not Peter Cottontail. I read those Beatrix Potter books to my kids a million times.

 

[catskillcomics]

Wow, how did you know that, Scott? mg:

the image looked familiar, it was the first thing that came to mind, probably cause I use to have a copy of that book when I was kid

 

[BTV Digger]

Very nice Drew. I remember reading the Peter Rabbit stories often when I was a kid! Congrats on the early copper, especially coming from a town park.
