Professional Preservation of My Coppas

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Hey, fellow enthusiasts, it has been a rough, mind-utting winter so far in PA. During this winter, Silver Zeus, KirkPA, and I have had many metal detecting seminars over gallons of coffee. Through it all, we have stayed as strong as a metal detecting gibbon can be.

To make a long metal detecting story short, KirkPA ordered some Riker display cases off of Kellyco last week. I decided to use my two cases for preserving some of my artifacts.

These five coppas were found in the "Coronet Field:"


The Connect-i-cut coppa, dandy button, and 1700 coppa were found at two locations in our historic area:


Keep the fever high, fellow enthusiasts!

Very cool to see all those coppas' in one place

May your winter sabbatical end soon and the fields bloom full of coronets this spring

Zoyboy,

The coins you have displayed display your professionalism. We must detect!

Looks good Kyle, be proud of displaying your finds!

I remember years ago a door prize at our SJMDC club meeting, someone, and I really am straining my memory on this one, since I think it was in the late 80's, anyway, someone donated a "money tree".

If I remember correctly it was a fancy stump of a little tree that was heavily shellacked and had old coppers and some silver embedded in the tree. Sort of like a nice display setup for a coffee table, it was not real big but it was a unique way of displaying some finds..
Maybe a piece of driftwood would work also, just a food for thought idea....

Tom...they are roughly the size of a half dollar. Quite a large cent isn't it.

Hey Kyle,

Those really are some great looking Large Cents! Excellent recoveries!

Kirk, thanks for the kind reply!

This year, we are hoping to find more coppers similar to these. My research will be placing us on 1790-1840 era sites, so they should be there.

Good luck to you and Jeff on the tour.

Thanks, everyone, for the sweet replies about my display cases. We are hoping to preserve many more in the near metal detecting future.

Keep the fever high!
