Finally! Plus Barbers, Indians and CT copper

[doninbrewster]

I finally found a two cent piece that wasn't dated 1864. I've found 6 1864 two cent pieces so far this year. Not that I don't like finding any 2 cent piece as they're on a lot of peoples bucket list, but it was nice to find a different date for a change, 1865. Not quite finished cleaning it yet. I was checking out the woods with DigginDude and pulled it. Went out to a town square with Jimzilla with and pulled a 1788 CT M.9-E copper. Pretty toasted, but attributable. I love finding colonials, even when toasted if they can be attributed by variety. We were also on our way to a spot in the woods when we noticed a sign, "furniture for sale". Looked like an old house so we drove in and asked permission. Owner said yes and I pulled the two Barber quarters and the Merc. Last but not least, we hit a favorite park yesterday and I pulled the 3 Barber dimes and 5 Indians. Jimzilla kicked my butt with his finds, but I wasn't disappointed. Also pulled a nice button and rosette that looks like it has an initial from the woods. Also pulled a semi key 1870 Indian in great condition and a Canadian penny. Can't complain over what I found in the last week. A number of these finds are bucket list items for many detectorists. Sorry to post so much, but I haven't posted for more than 10 days.

Lifetime Bucket finds checked off in the last week to ten days, you ROCK! Great variety of Sweet digs Don, thanks for sharing. Beautiful Canadian LC and Sweet semi key Indian. Since I started field site hunting I don't find coppers that nice anymore, occasionally I get a decent one but not like some of the sweet door knock coppers I have found. But door knocking never turned up Capped, Seated Or Spanish Silvers so We take what we find under our coils and love it! Big Congrats on some super hunts!

Excellent finds, you kicked butt!!

Shame the CT is eaten up but you certainly got condition on some of the other coins.

Thanks. Funny you should mention door knocking, if you look at my 1788 2 reale avatar, it came from door knocking. Also found an 1804 LC at the same place. Look that one up.
