An other bucket lister! Fugio, Connecticut, GII Hibernia,US 1812 button and more

[Aureus]

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.



Than my favorite military find of the week end. My first US Artillery button 1812



A few more coins. Some are in a decent shape.
Duke of Wellington 1814 Halfpenny token.



My first George II Hibernia (1745 I believe)



Matron 1848


Bank of Montreal Halfpenny 1844


A few worn coins. Mostly George II and George III


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.


A few civilian buttons.


Religious medallion.


And a huge copper or brass heart shaped lock.


Thanks for the comments.

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.

Thanks Underwonder. Yes, seems like the Christmas is early this year. It's a week end hunt so 2 days.

Well done, love the button, congrats

 

[Aureus]

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

Thanks man. Good luck on your hunts. Your new permissions sure look promising.

 

[Aureus]

THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT. Great finds.

Thanks rook. Never thought I would be able to find both Connecticut and Fugio on the same week end hunt.

 

[Aureus]

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!!!

It all depends on the soil conditions. Most of the coppers I've found in the first 2 years detecting were just flat discs with barely any detail visible so I see it as a bonus this days being able to get some of them in a decent shape.

 

[Aureus]

Wow that is a lot of American coins and buttons there! A Fugio!!! Awesome

Yes. Pretty crazy stuff. Unusual for Canada.

 

[Aureus]

That is a nice 1812 Button.

My first pre-1830's US button with some detail left. Hopefully I'll be able to find a US Rev War one day

 

[Aureus]

Yeah you're addicted... but you are good at being addicted! Great stuff!

I'll have some good memories to share at my first Detectoholics Anonymous meeting.

 

[treblehunter]

WOW!!!, that is one exceptional hunt, congrats

 

[Reanm8er]

That's fabulous, Congrats!

I don't think powder flask because the sulfur in the powder would turn it black instantly. I'm going with cane or umbrella! Sweet coins and cool lock!------Phil

Thanks man. A great feeling for sure. Still can't believe I've managed to find a Fugio here up North.

 

[Carolina Tom]

You are consistently at the top of the game. Thanks for sharing. Very nice finds as usual. That 1812 button is really nice, the Fugio is outrageous!

Good luck.
