7 Coppers, Bale seal, Knee Buckle

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

ZDD and me, the way it used to be.

4 Coppers and the knee buckle was got by ZDD, and I'm thinking he is a little too busy for show and tell ??, Anyway I'm waiting for the pics. myself of the cleaned up pics. He got a nice counter stamped copper among his 4, and a nice knee buckle frame.

Anyway been a long time since we went on a hunt forgether, May 29 if my memory serves, and journal are correct.

Anyway here's the pics. of what I got :
1 Bull ring...complete, (usually only half at at a time)
1 bale seal, K. S. I like it. At least it is not the same as most of the ones I got before.
2 blank coppers
1 nice NS 1861 1 cent, with a bit of stubborn green left on it.





When ZDD sends me his pic. of his counter stamped coin I will add it here.

Once again Rick, sweet finds!

Good results from the hunt, the copper has great details still. You're not the only one that just gets the halves of the rings, but once in awhile a whole one comes up and the pin hinge still moves.

It's the curse of a busy lifestyle either there's no time for detecting, or getting a few short hunts in and then having no extra time for posting up and sharing the results.

Nice little hunt...didn't you just say on another post the other day that you wanted to find a bale seal? Great job! like to see that counterstamped coin...

 

[Davers]

Sweet dig.

I Completely Agree.

WTG man...that copper is in great shape!

Nothing wrong with that day, apart from the condition issues. It seems more and more coppers are toast, but I just have to look at my copper grave yard display to remind myself it has pretty much always been like that.

I'm with IH on the stamped coin, took a liking to them very early on and always a treat to find. Just doesn't happen often, and most you can't seem to track down an ID for... but they are cool! It's always on my to find list each year but not sure if I would average one per year, but do have a good little collection.

Very interesting finds Rick, can't say that I've ever seen a complete bull ring posted on here before?
I'll definitely have to keep my ears & eyes open for when these pop up.

Love the large flat button and the '61 LC, here's holed-one I found in Kingston, ON a few years back.
