Abe, decided Oct. is too far away so had to act... and a first! :)

So tonight myself and newfie boy headed out for another three hour hunt, had no idea where to go, but picked a large field that had been hunted, but clearly not quite good enough! Shame the wax seal is not complete, but the rest made up for it. Two George III halfpennies (1773 and dateless), 3 French Colonial Marines buttons & part of a ornate trigger guard, and by far my best find of the hunt, and year so far, my first Machin's Mills copper! And the condition doesn't suck! It's just a common 1788 but I've been waiting over a decade to find one and today was the day. All these targets were worked out of the iron, and there's got to be a few more, so am looking forward to giving it another shot tomorrow... which is also our last hunt, and probably my final one for the Summer. So Abe I cut into your lead a little, and didn't have to wait for Fall.

What a great day! Congrats on the Machins Mill-fantastic condition.

Our sites are usually very hard on large coppers and this is my best condition one (by far) in my last 125 coppers... (probably many more I just only know 120 back) and it ends up being the MM. How lucky is that.

That's a fine looking copper you got there !
If a decent one pops up once and a while you sure got the bucket lister we've all been looking for.

Dug it at the big field on the H river, behind the church and graveyard. We stopped there last year for about an hour.
