Yoooooo, folks, Colonial KirkPA, Colonial Silver Zeus and I got out to a new site today. I had been researching this particular site for quite a while recently, which I happened to have FINISHED earlier last week. :headbang: I instantly told Zeus and KirkPA about the finished project, and we proceeded to go on with the next metal datecting process: PERMISSION MISSION, BABY!!!! :smileinbox: :smileinbox: I was very glad to hear that Zeus secured permission Saturday morning; Zeus, you are killer at getting permission, my great unc!!!!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Folks, my uncle, bro, and I make a killer team. We all have a say in the project, which limits one guy to take credit for all of the work.

The day started off quite slow, with only one button and a few pieces of trash to show for. It didn't take long, folks, for Zeus to yell out a great target. :icon_salut: Well, to make a long metal datecting story short, I was sweeping along with the usual John Walter-like sweeps, when I was instantly startled with an "M" on "Dime" reading on my White's XL Pro 6000. I instantly dug out some doyt (dirt), and was greeted with that green disc in the hole. I stood up, set my headphones down softly, and yelled out, "COIN...COPPA...COPPA...COIN...COIN!!!!!!!" :wav: After several, and I mean several, handshakes, Zeus said, "Kyle, it is a Liberty Cap!!!!!" Folks, this is my first Liberty Cap coppa of any kind. :blob1: I later found 3 more buttons and a suuuuuuuuuper old spoon handle. The spoon handle has a nice design on it.

We later talked to the cordial, and I mean suuuuuuuuuper cordial, landowner, who was thrilled for our great recoveries. :notworthy: Folks, the landowner and his suuuuuuuuuper sweet wife invited us back for a lifetime! :notworthy:

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and may all of your sweeps be Flowing Hair half dollars! The Three Datectateers will be heading back next week!

Sweet digs, I'm glad you met a sweet land owner also..... Way to go!! HH :thumbsup:
 

Remember early this morning we were imitating Larry in his usual weekling voice? Do you remember what we were saying the most? It was "Liberty Cap" over and over again. The power of suggestion no doubt looney.Congratulations on the Liberty Cap club addition.

Gotta love the nice landowners. Congrats on your super ra-search (as always) and on that beautiful liberty cap also. I tip my liberty cap to you on such a fine recovery Kyle. :notworthy: :headbang: :occasion18:
 

Wow Kyle---Congrats on those sweet finds :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
A colonial coppa is at the top of my wish list.
A great hunt my friend. :thumbsup:
 

It looks like you did some great homework to find that spot :wink: 2 large coppers and a spanish wilver,and all that other stuff :wav: :wav:
 

Nicely done...I had a similar encounter with a property owner this morning...secured another couple hundred acres in prime detecting territory!
 

Awesome Kyle!!! Your research paid off again. :thumbsup: Congrats on an awesome coppa find. :icon_king:
You three make a great team for sure.
What date is that coin?
Way to go,
Doug

Doug, thanks for the kind reply. Oh, the coin is either 1795 or 1796; I guess I will take credit for the 1795, though! :D ;D

You Guy's Are Awesome....Love It!!!!! :thumbsup:
 

Another beautiful copper saved. Liberty Cap does not come along very often :o Those large coppers are the best!!!!! I like the buttons too. They look to be 1700's vintage. Congrats on a beauty!
 

Hey Zoyboy. Congrats on yours too. This was my second, but first that I could read the date. Yours looks to be in really great shape. Congrats...Lance
