Sniffed Out A Copper This Weekend!

[The Rebel]

Hey all. It's been a loooonnnggg winter! Got out yesterday to some new sites using my new 10 DD coil after my orig one died due to a short in the cord.

At hole #1 got the button as well as the shoe buckle. Moved along to the next set of holes & came up with nothing. On the way down to another site I saw 2 other tectorists hitting up the site I was headed to. Nice guys and are not members of any forums. We chatted a bit & they had a few buttons to show but no coins.

I moved on down the road to a site I had been to years before but it was one of the hottest days of the summer, so by the time I found it I was already parched and almost ran into a white face hornets nest. I hit it for a while and then I heard that nice sweet sound of a copper. Was only a few inches down but she was a beauty! Felt good to get my 2nd of the year (1st one was way back in Jan). After that not much popped up except the handbag handles marked PAT. FEB. 2.75 LP & BB. Headed back to the car and saw a fox running away. Stopped at one more site I had hit hard last year and snagged this old buckle, probably horse related.

HH,
Roger!

Nice job on the shoe buckle. Nice job on the copper as well, glad you got out

Congrats on the copper. It's amazing how many detectorists have been out this weekend vs how many times I have seen others out last year. I hit a total of 6 cellar holes this weekend and not one coin before 1967 came up.... to compare. Site #2 I only checked 4 sites out of 7 or 8, tho. Hoping the further ones were touched less.

Hey Roger, is that shoe buckle a kid's buckle? It looks smallish. Sweet coppah too! Clear pics :cheesysmile:

I'd say so as it's pretty small.

the buckle looks all iron , probably sounded pretty good in the wet ground ( a target usually sounding crappy an ignored in the dry months) great looking matron Roger , you can definitely tell when spring is here by all the coppers popping up on the forum.

Thanks Guys. It's all iron but there are some small patches of silver on the top. Looking forward to my next hunt!
