Silver Site Coughs Up a Copper

[OxShoeDrew]

I knew this site had some coppers somewhere... I was getting tired of digging silver and 1600s buckles :lol:
JUST KIDDING :grin:
I thought maybe I also had an 1877 IH while still in the field, but it turned out to be 1879.
Also,
1888 IH
1917 Merc
I forget the wheat date
The lamp turner patent date is Jan 7th 1879
I guess the holed copper is a KG as the CONN or CONNEC isn't apparent as they usually are. I think they may have tried to hole it twice...probably should have, as it would have stayed on their neck :lol:
Thanks for looking!
PS I love finding buttons with cloth on them, sometimes the color is still there!

Another nice hunt. When your finding coppers and IH's I can see how you can forget the date on the "wheat"....:lol:

Great site and great finds again Drew :thumbsup02: can't wait to dig my first Georgian copper

Interesting. Maybe it's similar to my silver Balboa or the roman coin found here in CT that a YTC member found. Just a lucky coin someone had for generations and turned into a necklace. Nice score tho and an early merc.

Great finds from a great site!

You're killing it out of that site Drew. Congrats on the break from all that silver and really old stuff.

Nice when those coppers just get in the way ! I agree on the buttons with cloth Drew. It adds another level of coolness. My USA button still has some blue threads on the shank.

Congrats on snagging that copper.
