What a day! Two State and two British coppers.

Early last week I hit a former homesite where I previously had some luck. I started by searching away from the cellar hole for a change, but it was way too overgrown with brush and thorns. Discouraged and ready to relocate, I decided to try my luck near the hole again before leaving. I shortly got a nice coin tone about 30 feet from the hole, which turned out to be a 1787 Connecticut copper (maybe a Miller 6.1 - M). Psyched to not get skunked, I worked my way to within 5 or 6 feet of the hole. I soon after got another coin sound, and dug a nice 1806 King George III. Totally shocked now, I continued around the hole and got two more coins within a foot of each other; a 1788 Vermont copper (a first for me) and an early King George III, I think. What a day! I have no idea how I missed all these coins before, having searched around this hole several times with both large and small coils.. Also found several buttons too. Thanks and good luck out there.

Amazing finds fellow Mass hunter! Were you using the 800? Did you change your settings from your prior visits?

Thanks. I was using the Equinox 800. I don’t think I varied the settings, though perhaps I will the next time I go there. I believe I was using field 1, recovery 6, and all metal. I think maybe it was a different angle issue or I paid better attention to the tones this time around. For the first coin, my original gridding might have been ineffective. Just glad I didn’t miss them this time.
