Fugio, KG II's, LC's, 2 Cent Piece, Barber and more. Great few days!

[doninbrewster]

Haven't posted recently, but got out a few times the last few days. Hit a new permission and an old park I've been hunting. Six of the Indians came from the old park. Everything else came from the new permission. Although a bit toasted, I got my first Fugio out of the ground, a bucket list item. A couple of KG II's, one being an Irish halfpence. I always like finding LC and these two weren't a complete disaster although a little toasted. Found some horse tack and a nice batwing buckle, only my 3rd large size one. The permission seems to have quite a few silver spoons on the property as my buddy Jimmy also found one. First time at the new permission also found a very nice Barber quarter and 2 cent piece. The broach, musket ball, crotal bell and unidentified copper complete to package. This was during three outings, one at the park and two at the permission. All the coppers came up yesterday in a 3 hour hunt.

I should add I'm blessed to live in NY. We have a lot of old sites and I realize that many of these finds would be bucket listing items in a lot of places around the country. I am thankful.

incredible! How do you clean the coins?

Depends on the coins. I use Andre's pencils on the Indians and 2 Cent pieces and lightly use the finishing pencil on some coppers. I never use water on coppers. The 2 cent piece was cleaned using the pencils. https://www.facebook.com/groups/356723144661356/

Holy cow Don! You've been busy. That Fugio has been on my bucket list for a while too. Maybe this will be the year. That two center was dropped the day it was minted it would appear. Keep hitting that site. There's gotta be a chain cent or two lingering.

Was thrilled with the Fugio. Been on my bucket list for a long time too. Actually my buddy pulled a 1794 large cent. Just missed a potential chain cent by a year.

It has already been said, but WELL DONE! That 2-cent piece and Barber quarter are fantastic!! Love finding the crotal bells, as well... does it have any markings on it?

No. Not sure if I ever will. Back is quite toasted. I might, with some time figure out the obverse, but I'm too busy detecting

Hopefully I'll get out this weekend. Bunch of new spots to try. Hopefully a couple are virgin. Quite a hunt here. Geez I'm just hoping to find just "one" of what you found in this one!

Fantastic hunt, and you racked up some nice coins. The Fugio is bucket lister for me, and that 2 cent is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
