🥇 BANNER Fugio,95 liberty cap, connec and some gold

[Greylock]

After yesterday's complete bust I figured I would just swing a bit in the backyard. Not expecting to find much because I've been through it many times over the last few years but at least I wouldn't have to travel far. After a bunch of trash I got a strange bounce on the at pro. In the woods it would be a shotgun shell head stamp and I suppose it the parks it would be like a pull tab. Out comes this little 10k ring. I couldn't believe it and hey it's fits. Well it went on but wouldn't come off. Ended up breaking it. Oh well. After that I thought with this kind of luck I should head to my mill site I've been hammering the last few weeks. Set my stuff down and just as quick as I turned the machine on I got a quick little high tone hit. Dug and dug and dug but nothing still in the hole. Kept digging and finally a Fugio pops out. Knew what it was as soon as I saw it. Put the coil over the hole and its still ringing. Turned my cell camera on and dug some more. 1795 liberty cap. Ok wow. Checked the hole. Still hitting. Next 1788 connecticut copper. Checked the hole and another connecticut copper. Checked the hole and that was it. How's that for a spill? I'm still in awe. The rest kinda just came along throughout the next two hours. Happy hunting.


I was having trouble getting the photos to load so we'll see how it goes.

This is the most unbelievable post I've ever seen on Treasurenet. Not saying I don't believe it. Just plain unbelievable.

If you're not over the moon, I'm sorry but you're jaded from living in the Colonies. Congratulations!!

p.s. I'm attempting to nominate this find for the banner (which should by now be like carrying coals to Newcastle).

Absolutely fantastic finds! The Fugio really jumps out at me. Superb! Definitely a banner but I'm a tad too late to vote.

Thanks. Yes I am very lucky to live in a place with good history to it but trust me I'm not that spoiled. I have to work very hard to find sites like these and they don't come too often. I started video taping after the fugio came out so I have the rest on tape but its very long. Maybe one day ill edit and post it in the video section.

A Fugio cent is one of my ultimate goals in this hobby. Gives me some hope that they are still out there! Awesome!

Thanks Bubba. The soil conditions are great at this site. Even the pewter buttons are coming out with detail.

Those are some awesome finds. I've yet to find more than 2 coppers in one hole. Congrats on the banner!
