Hit a cellar earlier in the day that I had been to once before. I nabbed a few button on top of the 10 i had found at this site. No coins yet.

I noticed the small field next to my residence was hayed and it is public town property. This is where i learned to detect back in 2016 and provided me with many many good finds. Today was no exception. I got a screaming 23/24 on my equinox 600 and found this Nova a couple inches down. I also got my second oldest dog tag 1915.

Thanks for looking!

Wow I have never seen a Nova before very cool! Congrats!
 

Probably the nicest Nova I've seen posted here ! In that condition I think we have reached banner worthy ! Voting now .
 

I voted Banner for this reason..."This Nova Constellatio is not the first, but this piece has a certain something to it...It is very appealing, in addition to being a rarity. I just keep returning to this post to look at the pictures. For this reason I wish to nominate it for Banner". Happy Hunting! :notworthy:
 

Nice Nova. It is a Crosby 3-C variety which I believe is a Rarity 3, 200 to 500 known. Nova Constellatios were a privately produced British made token imported in great numbers during the early days of our country. Great find, congrats!

Wow, great looking coin and a scarce variety too as mentioned above!

Wow, that is a beautiful Nova, the best I've seen on the forum. Definitely on my all-time wish list, congratulations Sultan!
 

This Nova-C is in amazing condition and on both sides! A true rarity in that sense as well! I think you could probably get it more clean but there is definitely a risk of losing detail. Huge congrats. I'm giving this a banner vote!
 

It's actually one of the more common Nova varieties. I know 200 to 500 known sounds pretty rare, but not really for colonials!
 

Wow that Nova is in incredible shape, congratulations on your finds!!
 

Thank you everyone. Went again again yesterday. Got my field saddle strap shield and an engraved copper ppate with a name on it. I'll take a picture tonight and upload it. Its a womans name.
 

Congrats on your Nova copper. It's a great day of detecting when you recover an old copper that is so well preserved.
