Hey everyone. It's good to be back detecting. Today was the first time since December. Kirk,Kyle and I got out to a tired old site that has been good to me for a half year or so. We decided to get out Saturday due to forcasted snow for tomorrow. We had 3 hours of daylight after I got out of work so off we went.The first half inch of soil is thawed but it was frozen after that. It made for some tiresome hacking and digging. In the bean field across the street from an old one room schoolhouse I found a 190? indian head that just doesn't cut it for me any more. In to the pouch it went and farther into the colonial field I fled. I searched out Kyle who from where I was standing looked like an ant in the distance. I was noticing iron patches after iron patches that werent producing many good signals but were interesting nonetheless. After catching up to Kyle we decided to hit the area where I found my last KG III copper. Going about a half an hour in this field and BOOM, Penny / Dime on my trusty XL PRO analog and 6 inches of frozen , difficult digging and I was rewarded with what I thought was a Coronet Largie. I called Kyle over and he said the same but instantly said "Wait, I think it is a classic head. We both got a better look and each agreed it was. 1810's the date. I searched the acreage and spied Kirk on the horizon. After giving him the standard shovel pump above the head he began to make his way back. Kyle and I agreed to not tell him what we thought it was and to instead let him decide for himself. He put it in his hand and instantly said "Classic Head" High fives went all around. My first Classic Head Largie. I did find a half cent one last year. Copper Zeus is back for another run on coppers.
