Hammered Site Gives Up a Couple More Oldies

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Wednesdays's hunt.

I've hammered this place for about 3 or 4 years now, it's given me a lot of old coppers, as old as 1799, and a few silvers too including a 1851 3 cent silver, 1834 6 pence. Never much at any one time the stuff seems scattered out all over the place without any real hot spot, anyway it's close by so I decided to give it a go just to kill some time.

I state in the video that this might be my last hunt here, but given I got 3 old coins, and another bell I figure I'll go back again, as it may never mowed again, meaning this could be the last year it willl be huntable.

Anyway the 3 coins are 1856 Nova Scotia full 1 Penny, a 1861 NS 1/2 cent, and an 1888 Canada cent. and another crotal bell for the collectioin. The video is short at 2:45, and shows the large copper being live dug.

Hopefully now that the weather has changed for the better (cooler) I will get out some more...it's been a long while, haven't been on the forum much either.





Good luck in your fall season.

Dang it Rick, I thought you found a hammered coin. Great finds nonetheless and I hope see more of your finds now that it's cooler.

Nice going on the coppers and the bell, it's always nice to get a few keepers from an old friend.

@ JerseyDigger....Thanks

@ bill_wabo & chrisdigs ...Thanks I like to keep the vids short, to the point. Haven't made one in a long time, HAHA got a bunch of thumbs down from a hater.

@ joeyfresh...Sorry bout that. The only hammeredd I know from this side of the pond are from Bill D. I'm not expecting any, any time soon.

@ Sutphin....Yes there was some serious road wash outs around me, in the maritimes, but nothing too close.

@ Patriot..... No not giving up, but near sites are becomming scarce. I may need a better MD, and re-hash some more of them ?

@ pepperj.... Yes an old friend, and after this hunt I'll bet there is another good keeper from there. My previous hunt there I got just one target in the mid 50s which was a cheap pendant of sorts. I have got a lot of finds from this place, just never a bunch at one time. I will hit one more time for sure. Keeping to the outskirts of what I've hunted mostly before. Thanks.
