🥇 BANNER Fugio,95 liberty cap, connec and some gold

[Greylock]

After yesterday's complete bust I figured I would just swing a bit in the backyard. Not expecting to find much because I've been through it many times over the last few years but at least I wouldn't have to travel far. After a bunch of trash I got a strange bounce on the at pro. In the woods it would be a shotgun shell head stamp and I suppose it the parks it would be like a pull tab. Out comes this little 10k ring. I couldn't believe it and hey it's fits. Well it went on but wouldn't come off. Ended up breaking it. Oh well. After that I thought with this kind of luck I should head to my mill site I've been hammering the last few weeks. Set my stuff down and just as quick as I turned the machine on I got a quick little high tone hit. Dug and dug and dug but nothing still in the hole. Kept digging and finally a Fugio pops out. Knew what it was as soon as I saw it. Put the coil over the hole and its still ringing. Turned my cell camera on and dug some more. 1795 liberty cap. Ok wow. Checked the hole. Still hitting. Next 1788 connecticut copper. Checked the hole and another connecticut copper. Checked the hole and that was it. How's that for a spill? I'm still in awe. The rest kinda just came along throughout the next two hours. Happy hunting.


I was having trouble getting the photos to load so we'll see how it goes.

Wow! I can not imagine digging American history here that old. Nice job on the cleaning and restoration. Nice saves!

Absolutely awesome finds!
I went hunting last weekend it was a terrible bust for me. But I enjoyed this weekends finds.

Its really cool how this hobby gives back so to speak.

Congratulations on your awesome finds. Hope I can find something from 1700's one of these days!

My apologies everybody - somehow in my excitement over these finds I double posted the same post , and I haven't been able
to figure out how to delete the second one (moderators can you help a brother out here ?)

What an incredible spill!!! One of THE best Fugios I've seen on here. Must have been protected more than the others. Variety is Newman 15-Y, Scarce.... Die break in Dial to lower right base is present. Actually pretty easy to ID for me because of the condition! One of MY wish list finds. Excellent Tom.......EXCELLENT!

Thanks for the ID Hogge! I can only look at so many varieties at a time before my eyes start to get sore. And the photos just don't do it justice from my phone. Beautiful in hand.

No worries here. I'm still pretty floored. I usually never get to fully ID coppers from my soil and this site alone I have several that have been varieties.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and banner votes. Treasure hunting is great but being apart of this community makes it that much better.
