1787 Connecticut copper (pics added)

[TimmyNY]

stopped on the way home from work in an old field that has given up a lot of colonial and early large cents. this is the place where Seeker found the 1805 half dime last year. I found a small buckle and a lead ingot and a colonial copper. couldn't tell what it was at first but when I washed it there was enough detail to tell it is a 1787 Connecticut copper. not enough detail to bother with a picture. this is my 5th Conn copper

Hey, Timmy, It's good to hear from you again. I'm glad that Seeker left a coin for you. You should post a picture of that bald copper.

If there was a fainting smiley face here....I would definately post it!
But since there's not, I will have to do the usual shocked one!

Must be an incredible feeling finding something that old!
