KKC got out to a new Colonial site today. It looks like my coil is still hot on the copper trail. I dug a corroded Draped Bust large cent and a decent King George II halfpenny.

Keep the passion high, folks!

Nice coins Kirk, you guys are really doing awesome on the coppers. I also like the bells and buttons, and that number 8 you found. ;D

The KG II is your winner for the day. Out of the five coppers, four of them were Colonial, which always puts a smile on our faces. :laughing9:

Nice finds! That "8" might turn out to be a good relic. Is it decorated at all? Are there holes punched in, or braising marks on the piece?
