4 coppers, 3 1/2 cents on copper hill, with a bucket list coin.

[Fattony315]

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. Hh

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

Yes, we are in a good area to find coppers- that's my 6th this year on 3 hunts. I also found a holed, coin shape (half cent size) object. It was very thin and has no detail. There is no shank, I guess a coin but can't tell.

Any luck with cleaning that large dandy button Tony? Seems like there was something on it under the crust.
