Hey hey diggers!
I'm still enjoying this early detecting season this year. It's been more than a few years that we've been able to get into the fields this early, usually it's been first part to middle of April so the bonus time has been welcome and productive.
Back to a field I've detected before but it's been a few years since the last visit. Along with Iron Patch we covered the far corners and spaces undetected fully in the past and discovered a few little pockets of interest that produced some coins and relics missed before.
I was digging upfield when IP motioned for me to join him in a far corner of the property ...when I got there said he had two cartwheel pennies already! Not often our sites give up multiple cartwheels, yeah we find a few over the year but never so many in a single go.
So I show up and immediately find another...then the 1806 penny(same size) and then right at the end of searching the area ...another one!
Four big cartwheel pennies and a spare! I guess we know now where the wheels feel off! Lol
Interesting day to say the least.
I should have taken a pic of IPs pennies but you get the idea.
Rounding out the hunt I found a sweet tomcac button with some decoration...pretty button!
Great to out making some finds and saving some coins and relics.
See you on the next exciting dig!

A cartwheel is one coin I have always wanted to find but they have so far eluded me - and you find 4 in one go! Good for you, but couldn't you have left me one?
The only one pennies I have found have been Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ones.
 

Great hunt. Love the button!

Those big Georgian pennies show up at most of our early sites as do the penny tokens which are just as welcome to me!
Next time I get one of those signals that says it's a deep big target I'll leave it there for you lol
 

Congrats on a great bunch of recoveries. Now I know what a Cartwheel coin is.
I swear they dug a copper that looked like that on today's Hoover Boys episode, but he couldn't ID it because it was too far gone.
You guys dig all the great old coins up that way. :icon_thumright:
