It was a beautiful day today, so Zeus and I got out for a Colonial dig. We hunted the site where our group has found 13 Colonial coppers this Fall. We were determined to add more to that total. :)

I was getting all sorts of new signals in areas that we have hunted. I found the beautiful silver-plated flower button at a depth of 6". After that, I dug some other relics and was picking pottery up along the way. The best, strong signal of the day was pinpointing at 5". I was glad to see a green copper pop out of the depths. It turned out to be a 1787 Connecticut copper. I now have found 3 State coppers at this site this Fall (NJ, VT, and CT ;D).

I had a great time hunting a true Colonial site with my uncle Zeus. He found a large tombac button and harness buckles out the ying-yang. :laughing7: What a site! Bucket Bonanza! ;D

Keep the passion high!

Kirk :hello:

Pretty sweet finds. I just looked up Connecticut coppers to see how you determined the date and I was amazed to see how many variations there were. I was also amazed to see how well some resembled King George coppers.

Keep the passion high...I like that :icon_thumright:

It was a perfect day weatherwise to add to our Bucket bonanza site total. Nice to see another copper pulled from here. You own the Post Colonial site award. I think we can coax another week or two out of the season. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Uncle Zeus.

That is great that you have found a VT, NJ and CT coppers at this site. I believe we have had two sites like that where we found all three state coppers. The VT copper being the hardest for us to find of course.

Well I didn't get a chance to go onto T-Net yesterday so I missed this. Congrats on the Connecticut Kirk, but I like that thistle flower button even better :thumbsup:
