So we had some rare, extra detecting time today and we were chompin' at the bit to hit 2 of 5 new sites we had found over the winter. After deciding which two, we set off for the first one, a tiny hole in a kinda out of the way area. We were hoping that it was unhit or lightly hit. After a couple of buttons and some other finds started to come to light, we soon realized that there were NO coins to be found there. :girlcry: Lots of buttons, but not a copper. So we re-grouped and went to the second hole which we thought was some kind of tavern or mill. Now we think it may just be a huge colonial :shocked04: What a site. It must have been one heck of a grand home with that huge center chimney. It started out slow with just a couple of buttons, so I put the old X-5 on my E Trac. Just got it back from being repaired and it was getting put through it's muddy pace lol Very close to the hole I got the signal we ET's all die for lol 12-46 at 5. :drool: This one pinpointed a bit long (oval) though, so I thought it was gonna be a colonial shoe buckle. We are desperate for coppers, since I don't even remember the last one I got :dontknow: I started to dig and out pops a copper |
) |) Thank you copper God |) |) But the pinpointer says it ain't over until the threshold returns :cheesysmile: In the hole was a second copper. :girlcry: :girlcry: :girlcry: I had to break the news to Dan 
He was thrilled rofl Time was short today as we are going back tomorrow, so we decided to call it a day. On the way out I managed to use my incredibly accurate digging skills and almost split a copper that was in the water and between rocks :hairpulling: I thought it was a half cent, but even though it is tiny compared to the other one, I can see one cent on the back. I don't know why it is undersized, but it is not a half cent :crying02: So 3 coppers for the day and I finally got the copper monkey off of my back. Sorry, no clean pictures of the two good coppers...I am waiting to get some baking soda for the portable blaster I got. I'm leaving all buttons and coins to be practiced on. Thanks for looking and hope you all have a chance to get out soon. It was a gorgeous day!!

I can see why you love the sites. I would as well. I am glad you were able to get out.
