Hi all :hello:
Had to comment on the Matron, she is one tough looking Liberty Bust :laughing7:
Pulled her from the foundation I got the love token from, same amount of time,
about 2 hrs pulling iron & junk, then a goody :hello2:
some whatsit iron pieces, oxshoes, & a knife blade
I don't think it was out of the bank long, just weakly struck..
The decision whether and how to clean an old copper is always a tough one for me, I'm happy with the results this time :wink:
(of course it looks much better in hand than the photos)
My last 4 coppers were half cents, this largie sure feels heavy!
I gave my etracs stock coil a shot here, I'll tell you it doesn't compare with the Coiltek Joey for picking thru junk.
If you hunt in trash, you need this coil !

Mike at www.woodlanddetectors.com is the man to see.

Some other 20th C items dug out of a wooded lot behind an abandoned home,
(no digging in the lawn!) gotta love 'RopeMan' :laughing9:
Thanks for looking! HH Everyone :thumbsup:

Hi Dave and Chris,
Thanks for your replies!!
Dave, I have no idea what that emblem is from.
no attachment points, just thin stamped & plated/enamelled brass,
I do like the Eagle and Shield!
Thanks for looking & HH :thumbsup:
 

Re: 1818 WWF Token, Er.. Large Cent

Congratulations!!!!!!! :notworthy:
 

Herbie,
Your 1818 LC looks fantastic after cleaning. What did you use? :icon_scratch:
A coin like that would make my day week year. :thumbsup:
Congrats,
Doug
 

nice clean up of that LC.
i've always said the 1817 LC's were made of good copper-
perhaps this one was from some of that stock...
 

Ohhhh to find just ONE LC. I'd be a happy gal. :icon_sunny: That ones a good 'un, Herb! 8) Charlie was up in CT for a couple of weeks and he'd call and tell me of the old 1600's towns he went thru and send pics of beautiful old homes. I just could not imagine the finds that could come from places that old. :o GREAT for MD'ers that live in the NE...that is till winter sets in. :P :D
Congrats on those fab finds!
Nana :hello:
 

It's old enough to be worn. Glad to see you are still finding spoons Herbie. I thought of you in Ark. when I dug a full spoon from circa. 1900. I gave it to the landowners. Nice saves, Quindy.
 

that cellar hole is still being good to you i see :thumbsup:
 

nice Large cent ...congrats!

Thanks All :wink:
Dug, it got a water spray, (then first photos), a hot peroxide treatment, (2 times)
after that it was half green & half brown, so I applied copper polish just long enough to melt the green crust,(maybe 10 seconds) rubbing & picking with wood skewer, several hot water rinses to get that copper polish completely removed.
then a light coat of matte poly spray, I prefer this as it can be removed with acetone,
wax it, and it's there forever.
Nana, Your Copper is coming :wink:
Appreciate all your replys! HH All :thumbsup:

Hi Dwayne,
Could very well be, I also have an exceptional 1820 :dontknow:
and those microclimates, I've dug a beautiful 1802, 10 feet from a toasted wheat,
you never know...
Copper is unpredictable, but I'm getting better at when & how to 'Clean' :wink:
(I really messed up some of my first ones :-[ )
the early Silver almost always comes out nice :D Thanks & HH :thumbsup:
