Went back to the 1733-1800 site for a few hours...The deer flies were very bad...We hunted for about 3 hours..The first 2 1/2 hour turned up nothing but shotgun shells...And then this beauty popped out of the dirt...The condition is not that good but i was very happy with it...They dont turn up that often...It is my second...I consider myself very lucky to have found one...nevermind a second one :icon_thumleft:

:o :o :o Sorry, but I have to disagree about the condition :laughing7: When you dig as many toasted coppers as we do, you appreciate the ones that look like that :icon_thumleft: That is a thing of beauty Brian :hello2: :hello2:

That coin isn't a match to the one that was dug.. The bow and arrow are in the wrong hands.
 

Nice one Brian. Mass. cents are hard to come by for me this year aswell. Found 3 last year but am skunked so far this year. Take em anyway you can get em. :icon_thumright:
 

Yep many still looking for that one, so another and you can probably consider it a collection.
 

Nice one Brian! It's been about a year since I found a State Copper. All I've found are Conn's and Vermonts. Congrats.................Hogge :headbang: :headbang:
 

:headbang: Very nice! I'm still waiting for my first :-\
 

The condition of your copper , exceeds , the piece of toast that i dug ! N i C e !! CMD
 

That is a good find :icon_thumleft: with out a size comparison to that coin its hard to tell if it is a one cent or a half cent off hand do you know the size. Nice dig :thumbsup: Dd60
 

Yeah don't see too many of those posted... Also like it was said, when you dig as many toasty coppers as we do, that one is good in my books! :icon_thumright:
 

I have found everything from Connecticut coppers and New Jerseys, but never a Mass. cent. :dontknow: I think I will find one. :dontknow:

Congrats on finding that elusive state copper, Brian. Keep hitting that site super hard!
