5th Copper of the year !

[vpone]

Hello All,

Vp here, I got out today for about 2 hours and worked a site that has an old colonial road going thru it. It was cold, about 25 degrees and the ground was still frozen solid. I got the perfect 00 28 signal on my SE about 30 minutes into the hunt. I dug and dug trying to get below the frost line to retrieve the coin, unfortunately the coin was IN THE FROST LINE AND I DECKED IT 3 TIMES with my digging tools !!!!!!!

You can see the two small hits with my Lesche - i had no idea i was hitting the coin, i thought it was much deeper. On top of that i also got it with my foxhole shovel !!!! NOT GOOD !!!

oh well, i guess i learned yet another little tip when metal detecting in the winter - good to know

ANYWAY .... the coin is VERY thin and you can see the size comparison with the modern quarter, there is no detail on it at all but it is definately copper - i truly thought it was a button but there is no sign of a shank anywhere on the thing so i really think it's a coin.

now - i got an overload signal right on top of the ground where i think the old colonial road went thru. That's where i retrieved the knife looking thing - i'm not sure it is an old knife or part of one being that this is a corn field and it could have came from a piece of farm equipment or something but on the other hand ... this was a very well traveled road (or so i think) and it sure does look like a knife of some sort ... what do you guys think ?

thanks for looking

At least you got out and did some detecting. I have a mini stack of those dead coppers. On the flip side of that is when you flip the dirt over and can see detail on it before picking it up. Oh yeah. I'm jonesing to get out there this weekend. Good luck and take care.

30 Wilvers and over 200 wheats so far this month for me. It's been a very good Jan., but I won't be trying to eclipse last years totals. There's a hell of a lot less wilver over here now.

nice find on the old copper. i seen on the net that 1 guy carries a propane torch to heat the ground when hes detecting frozen ground. would have to be careful if he used it in the woods around alot of dry leaves sticks
