Colonial Tavern Revisited - Coppers and Relics

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

Hey everybody. It's been a while since the Zeus has posted. CKK hasn't been to any new spots due to the crops occupying our swingable areas. We did recently see that a hayfield was harvested. We found many coppers already there. This was a nice opportunity to find some summer coppers and relics. Kyle started off by singing out "Copper". It wasn't long after that and I piped in with the same magic word. In my case it turned out to be an 1818 Coronet L.C. I also found another worn copper of indeterminate identification. Same size and thickness of a Draped bust L.C. but could also be a K.G. III. My relics are as follows. Colonial partial shoe buckle, Probable Curry comb, Cuff link, 3 buttons with shanks many pewter spoon parts and 2 large square nails. And I mean large.It was good to get out and find stuff again. I've been coin skunked for a while. That won't be said this fall. Kyle ended up with a nice K.G III copper and Kirk found the Holy Graile of Coppers for our little group. 1794 thicky liberty cap largie. He is now tied with me in quantity. I am still up one though. I have the 1794 thicky half cent. I'm sure we will return next week so keep an eye out for future posts.

Man I am loving your and Kyles posts! It is amazing that you guys are getting all of these large cents in one day! Very nice finds indeed!

Chris, like the flower cufflink, similar to the set I just found back in May/June time frame. Can't help you on the unidentified coin, but the copper looks too good of quality to be a KGIII, so I would go with KGII or a Large Cent, who knows,could be one of the weird ones, keep trying to see some detail somewhere....

Chris,
Glad to see you post again, and you came back in style too. I had thought maybe you took up golf instead.
Fantastic job on the coins & relics guys. Can't wait to see you tear up those fields this fall.

I'm sick of GOUT....If I ever find a colonial Meat Clever I will take care of this little problem once and for all.

Unc,

You proved why we call you the "Copper King." Shoot for 50 this year! Tumble that copper and get some detail to show. We must go back!
