What an opportunity! Thats all I can really say. Last Sunday, my new best friend in the world, JD invited me and another buddy up for a colonial fort hunt. The first find was Craig digging a King George Copper! When you are finding King George Coppers, that means its going to be a great day right. Well it actually got better. Within a few minutes I found another one!
My friend JD, not to be outdone dug the most beautiful 1808 caped bust half, followed by Craig with a 1799 Spanish Reale. We also found musket balls, pewter buttons and other colonial relics. All in all it was the most fun I have ever had detecting. Thanks for taking us JD. Oh and next time I will wear my lucky shirt and pants and who knows what we will find.

I can't beleive I didn't see this thread before!
Excelent finds!!!! Can't wait to see what you find next time. Be sure to post them. WTG!!! HH
 

JD, lets go next week, pick a day. I'm pretty sure we left a few goodies!
 

Very good day of hunting. I have a lead on a colonial fort near Washington, but in my part of Missouri, I haven't one. There is a cival war campground about five miles from here, and I will try to find the owner of that field. Maybe I'll get almost as lucky as you guys. Great finds...beautiful in fact.
 

Congrats Tsgman on those great finds and the Good Luck to be able to hunt such an historic site ! Keep us posted on your future hunts.
