The KKC team got out to a new site today and it proved to be super productive for me. :icon_thumleft: Kyle called me last night and stated that the farmer was harvesting the cornfield, but only a small section of it. We were all excited to get in this field to unearth PA coppers, buttons, and relics. :hello2:

It wasn't long after walking into the field, that I started to get signals. :headbang: Most of it was iron, but that got my Colonial blood pumping. :thumbsup: I soon got my 1st great signal and was thrilled to pop out this beautiful 1840 Braided Hair large cent. :headbang: The patina truly makes this copper pretty. After the copper, I started to pop out a load of buttons (12 for the day). I love it when the tombac buttons start to pop. :icon_thumleft:

I also dug this 1810 Classic Head half cent (my 3rd half cent for 2010). The reverse of the coin also has a nice patina that highlight the features. I must admit, this was a fun-filled day of digging. :icon_sunny: The weather was a perfect breezy 70 degrees. It can't get much better than that. The fields of PA produced some great coppers and relics once again. The positive side to this field was the farmer only harvested a small section, so most of the artifacts were dug in the front yard. We still have to hunt the backyard of the Colonial dwelling. The future looks bright! :icon_sunny:

Keep the passion high! :icon_thumleft:

Kirk :hello:

Kaduck, you needed this day super bad! That skunk can now kiss your Colonial arse, because you are back! The 1810 half cent really solidified your day, that is for sure!

This dwelling site is special! It holds more goods no doubt! :headbang:

If its like freshly cut wheat, it makes nice black boggie's from the dust you kick up from the coil :laughing9:

Plus if its like a Roman Site, then the back yard should be OK :wink:

The 1C looks a winner.

Keep the passion high...

Well done! Those are both nice in terms of condition. If you boys dig a Liberty Cap Thicky in that field, it will be a GOOD one! :hello2:

Nice job cleaning those coppers, too. Looks like some toothpicking or toothbrushing and a little oil from the fingers on the high points, eh? ;D Worked out really nicely to highlight the detail.

Cheers,


Buck
