image.jpeg a friend and I hunted a foundation today that we hunted 2 years ago. We didn't find much then but we wanted to check it again. so for the first hour I hunted around the foundation. I picked up 1 signal. To the left of the foundation, about 50 yards away was a flat area. It was 1/2 the size of a football field and it sloped down to a creek. I started swing there and hit a 82 on the AT pro. After removing 4 inches of snow and leaves, 2 inches down was copper #1. 2 swings away from that hole, I get a 77, dig the hole and at 4 inchs, out comes #2 a half cent ( my 1st and bucket list coin). I work the flat picking up 3 buttons. I'm working in a circle and get an 82 again. 4 inches down copper #3. I work my way back toward the first hole and another 82. Dig out copper #4. This all happened in about 45minutes. That is my best day ever. Hhimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

Very nice draped bust recoveries
 

I forgot to give the dates- draped bust large cent 1805, draped bust half cent 1804, classic head 1813 and last can only read _80_.
 

Amazing day Tony. :notworthy: Sorry about my camera gaffe. (forgot the SD card in my camera today:BangHead:). The cell phone backup pics came out pretty good though. That second classic head looks like 1809... that's the only date that fits. For a while there I couldn't even pick up my detector because every time I did I heard "COPPER" and had to come running over. :laughing7: Two classic heads in the same day is interesting. Definitely an older site with no matron heads turning up. I'm still wondering what that larger flat button is. There definitely seems to be something there. The smaller button is sweet. Never saw one exactly like that before.
 

A fantastic hunt, congrats on the half cent
 

What a great copper day . Congratulations
 

Great day and congrats on the bucket lister. Likely some early silver somewhere k that embankment.
 

STELLAR DAY!!!!!! CONGRATZ...
 

Great digs. Ooh I love them old coppers. , I'm looking for my first 1/2 cent too
Hh gl. Great site pound it !!
 

What a great day. Draped bust half cent, large cent and 2 classic heads! Most people have yet to find a half cent and those classic heads are rarer coming out of the ground than even the draped bust. Nice going!
 

Very nice hunt. Congrats on all of the coppers. WOW.
 

That must have been VERY distracting for Evolution lol. What a great hunt! Congrats on your bucket lister.
 

Nothing at all wrong with a day like that!, what a feeling getting that must have bucket lister!
 

That must have been VERY distracting for Evolution lol. What a great hunt! Congrats on your bucket lister.
It certainly was OD. But I was glad at least one of us was hot. Those coppers aren't gonna find themselves. :laughing7:
 

Congrats on some really nice coppers
 

You are in an area to find old US of A coins. That is a sweet bunch of copper right there.
