My morning hunt was a bust ! Searching for a foundation a deer hunter told me about ! Never found it or anything :icon_scratch: A long hike along a pretty river so all was not lost ! Noon Time came though and I was skunked ! I Grabbed some lunch and decided to head back to the park that used to have the British Garrison on it ! Glad I did> I hit a sweet spot in the field That started turning up deep buttons and then a copper :hello2: On my next two passes I picked up two more coppers . One being farthing or Half cent size ! A couple more buttons the Ox Hame Knob , and the cool little lock ! A few others and I found my first coin in a bezel ! I thought for sure it would be a silver but it was one year off being a 1965 ! The Conn. copper though not in good shape was only my third state copper my first two being Mass. Coppers ! So I am pretty stoked up with this hunt ! Thanks for looking and happy treasure hunting to all ! MaineRelic

Nice finds. The quarter would have made me mad, being placed in a bezel. Why bezel a 65 anyway?

Much better than your last go.

The copper may not be best, but IDable will do when it is an only / first of a type.

Great hunt MR! The little colonial padlock is a nice find. Looks like your soil isn't too kind to coppers. I have the same problem on most of my sites.
