I had a little time this afternoon and decided to go scout an area that is close to where I found my Rev War era Dandy button the other day. I walked a long way following a stone wall and came to a clearing on a knoll that looked like it would have been a great place for a home. Turned on my T2 and got a very nice signal right off the bat. Looked at my lonely left hand and sadly there was no digging tool in it. I left it in my truck, and yes I am a huge idiot. :-) and I'm well aware of this fact. So I made the walk of shame back to my truck and retrieved my digger. At this point I decided to walk down to where I found the Dandy. I swung on my way across the field and dug a couple of signals along the way. Found what I think is an old bell and also some sort of curved buckle.

Eventually I got down to my spot and got a nice signal that I dug and out came a very ugly green coin that I figured was either a wheat or an ih. It turned out to be the ugliest damn indian head on earth. :-)

I decided to scan on the very edge of a steep embankment that goes into a huge bay. Got a nice signal and dug a decent sized coin that I couldn't see any detail on. Didn't think much of it and put it in my keeper case. Scanned that area again and right beside it got another good signal. Same sized coin with no detail. Was I happy when I got home and dipped them in some hp and after a minute could see GEORGIVS. Knew I had a kg and figured the other coin may be as well. Sure enough it was. Both kg 2s. One is a Brittania and I thought I saw 1761 but am not sure. It's gonna need some more work. The HIBERNIA on the other hand is a 1760 with great detail for a copper in my area. By far my best detailed colonial and I could not be happier. This season is off to a great start and I hope it continues. Thanks for looking. All the best, Abr

Abe - I got your emailed pics - sorry it took me so long to respond as I've had a lot going on. Congrats on the double copper day. And that 1760 is a real beaut. Sounds like you have the fever bad now that the weather has improved. Go back and dig you a few more. Good luck!
Thanks bud. I hope alls well with you. You've had an awesome season and it's been inspiring. I will be hitting some early to mid 1600s sites this year and may have a few questions for ya. Btw I absolutely loved reading your articles . Thanks for sending them . They're great

I'd be happy to try and answer any questions you might have Abe. I'm envious of you now as my season is 98% over and yours is just starting. Glad the articles provided a bit of motivation for you.
 

Great coppers man and that hibernia turned out great. I know you've been chomping at the bit and it's great to see you out swinging and making some great finds to boot!

Thank you bud. It's certainly nice to be out again and it's been a great start with the Patriotic dandy button and old coppers. Hopefully some old silver will show up this year. Maybe a big chunky cob :-) high on my list man
 

I hope you find a tree coin! Sounds like you have a great place to find one. Best of luck to you Abe.
