Had a great detecting week end. The harvest is in the full speed so more fields get accessible every day.

The best find was without a doubt my very first Fugio cent. To be honest it wasn't really on my bucket list as I never though of finding one in Canada.
It's not in the top shape but I'm still pretty happy with the condition as other coins in the area didn't survive that well.

An other great find was a Connecticut copper 1786 (4.1-G) Second one this month.

An unusual relic and my only silver find this week end. Didn't think much of it when I've found it, but still left it in my car. Latter on checked it again and noticed the STERLING mark. Not sure if it's from a walking cane or part of a powder flask.

You hit it out of the park with that hunt. Congrats.
 

Dang ! That's all you got ? pathetic ! ( not really) Is the open end on the silver piece large enough to accomodate a walking stick/cane ? Are there any known powder flasks made of sterling silver ? Great finds !!
 

I’m trying to find my breath right now. Just a incredible amazing hunt. I can even imagine what this day felt like. Hopefully one day I will [emoji1317]

Congratulations on your amazing day
 

My goodness!!!! Do you realize that any ONE of those finds would be the ultimate find for anyone's hunt?!!! That's incredible! Fantastic work!
 

Holy smokes, those are some amazing old finds. Way to freaking go. That is awesome. Good there's some old silver in those neck of the woods for you too!
 

OMG what an awesome hunt! Congrats! :icon_thumleft: I like all the finds!
 

Fugio amazing I wish there was stuff like that where I live. Very well done
 

Amazing, I'm willing to bet that the silver thing is an umbrella handle or something
 

What, did Santa deliver early? All those in a hunt? You have a sweet spot and an ear for what to dig. A big congratulations (again), Aureus. Thanks for sharing your joy.
 

Your rocking it this Autumn.
Love that Fugio and other coppers.
Keep em coming.
 

THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT. Great finds.:occasion14:
 

Wow you did incredibly well. The first few coppers I found were in pretty nice shape. I thought to myself wow it can only get better! Now I know the truth... that we are really lucky to find them with anything on them! Congrats on the great finds! I hope that one day I can mind my business!!!
