Coppa Field...

[Michellets]

I enjoy this web sight, and find that I am always learning a lot from some of the other postings people have put up here over the past year or so. I guess that there are people who use this as a sight to show "what a great find they have", or out brag the next person. I , however, decided to put these photos up for no other reason other than to let others enjoy a few coins /relics that I stumbled upon about two weeks ago.
When I go to detecting I like to look for a spot that looks right. It could be the narrow width of a valley, the slope of a hill, the promentory of a hilltop, the joining of a valley to another valley, etc. I enjoy hiking and sometimes I get ridiculed because I walk sooooo far. Sometimes just for the fun of it, I'll go walking all day just looking, and thinking. Not for what is there, but for what might have been there.
A few weeks ago I found a spot that "just looked right" for a gathering of some kind. Well, it was. I was a bit astonished, but also somewhat dissapointed. No silver, but lots of coppa. It was a lot of fun, and someday maybe I'll have the opportunity to go back, but in the meantime I have enjoyed documenting and sharing these finds with others HH M.

Awesome Coppas!
I had a site like that just across the street and I did not know about it till earlyer this year.
There was a silver there but it was very small. I still plan to go back over it when it is cut in the fall.

Was this place overgrown or not?

Whats wrong with wanting to bost or brag at our good luck and smart hunting?
By the way nice finds

GREAT finds....Love the Conn. coppers. CONGRATS!

That's a dream spot you found there. You have reason to brag if you change your mind and were so inclined.

What a great spot. Congrats on the great finds.

 

[tymcmurray]

Good for you!!!
You obviously have a good sense for locations.
Great finds and thanks for sharing!

DJ, the area was pretty overgrown. I always wanted a Connecticut Coppa, so I was happy with finding three. One of the Conn. coppas looks to be a miss-strike.

Man o man - You cleaned up! Sweeeeet, good job.

If it was overgrown, then I would go back in the fall when the weeds die down, there should be more to find

"Dissapointed" and your finds from this site do not belong together!!!

Congratulations on the awesome finds.

I don't think of it as bragging, but when I find something great I like to share it. I want to give others the inspiration and passion to get out and find something Great as well. At times in my MDing in the past, I've needed to just get online and look at others finds to get the passion back again.


Those are some INCREDIBLE copper recoveries. Frequently places like that won't appear on any maps, or in printed records. I think your method is a FINE one--because even if you occasionally find a spot like that, your finds more than make up for any perceived inconsistency. Also, it sounds like you thoroughly enjoy just being outside--so that is fulfillment in and of itself.

Bravo!

Very well said BB. I was about to type a very similar response then I scrolled down to see that you had the same idea. We all need inspiration from time to time and this website does that for me sometimes as well. You made some excellent recoveries from that spot Michellets. Recoveries that anyone would be proud of.

Nice group of coins. I have hunted some overgrown sites and used a 4x4 piece of 1/2 inch plywood. If it is just grass and not sapplings, just step on the plywood and detect and move the plywood and repeat.

Michellets AMAZING finds !!!


You have the knack and the hiking is good exercise !

WTG on all those coppas and the batwing buckle is fantastic !

Derek

 

[Michellets]

Ahhh yes, I find myself also visiting T-net for inspiration as well. Also, I doubt I would have known what a bat-wing buckle was unless I saw one here. I also enjoy the buckle web sight you folks have turned me onto for dating buckles:

And then there's always the help with button identification that people have helped with too. Keep it up everyone, oh, and BTW the idea of using a thin sheet of plywood to knock the grass down is a great idea, thanks, maybe someday I'll need to use it. HH M.

I don't know how I missed this post earlier, but congrats on it and your subsequent finds!

 

[Marc in VA]

Boast all you want. Those kind of sites dont come around very often. Judging by the Connecticuts, the George the seconds and the LCs you are on some seriously old ground. I would hammer the heck out of that site. Congrats!!!!
