Connecticut Copper 1788.

Got out this past weekend on a club hunt. Zero coins or good finds after almost five hours. Then funally a good signal. I was happy to see a large copper coin. Thought it was a George, but after a little closer look, the dirt was loose and fell off, I saw "Auctori Connec". Not a George but a Connecticut Copper, and very good detail. Not my usual copper. I was please to have only one coin for 7 hours of detecting.

Any one with a good contact or place for me to get this typed let me know.

Fantastic looking copper, good job! wish we could find something like that here in N.W.Georgia. Oh well we'll keep on plugging away.

It was nice to see such details on a copper. That is not the norm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Farmers were not afraid of using fertilizer on their fields. This small field did not appear heavily fertilized as a lot of the finds were in good shape. Just not as old as the copper.
