1720 Dump issue Half Penny, shoe buckle, Flying Eagle Cent, flatties..

[Scrappy]

I got out today for a quick morning hunt with the Basstards of Bramble. It's been quite a while since the three of us have hunted, and we had fun.

Here's my take:



My first high signal was this KG1. I called Bart over to listen because it sounded pretty funky. He agreed that it sounded nice enough to dig.

After that I snagged a Flying Eagle Cent follow d by a shoe buckle under a pile of branches I moved.



All in all it was a great hunt with my buddies. Charlie took us to a spot that may not have had a ton of signals, but the signals it has are usually winners. Thanks Charlie.



Good hunts everyone

Steve

Congrats on the nice finds Scrappy.

Glad to see that you finally found a FE cent.

Also nice to see the BOBs out in the woods together.

AlwYs a pleasure hunting with the ba$tard$
I found nothing. But smoked a lot of
" Indian tobacco " and took a short siesta.
I love those woods. What a great piece of land. I know
There's more there. When fall comes and it opens up we will kill it

There's certainly more of a story to tell. That KG where I found it seems like a random drop as you know. But nothing is ever quite "random". Thanks for the hunt bud

 

[Scrappy]

You seem to pull some nice ones out on every trip Steve, and yesterday was no exception. Keep 'em coming man ....

Thanks Bill. The KG was a random drop it seems. We were a good 1/4 mile from the site. I'm thinking that one was luck. I will say a few of the other coins found on-site were KG1's and an early 18th Century French copper. Thx for looking bud

Thanks Tom. I must say I was quite tired of everyone around me finding them. But a nice friend once gave me a shirt with a flying eagle coin image on it, and I happened to be wearing it that day. I give him all the credit. Lol

Terrific historical finds! I love to see a coin come up that I've never seen before -- awesome!

Nice digs Steve, KGI is always a welcome site, but that hollow...pewter?? monkey is an interesting piece. Good luck pinning down an ID

Nice work! So was that your first FE? If so, there was a bit of that going around this weekend. Big congrats to you for notching it.

Glad you made it out there with friends and had some cool history to show for it.

Way to go Scrappy! Quality finds, as usual. Got to say..loving the little face thing...

 

[basque-man]

Very cool hunt and congrats on some wonderful finds!!!!!

 

[port ewen ace]

WOW--- I never knew those FE coins had dates on 'em. all 3 of mine were dateless

that face thing seems vaguely familiar------- "no eye deer" why

the Scrap pile is never just regular stuff

That KG1 is not an easy find. I have maybe 3 of them. Glad you were able to get out and have a productive hunt. And I guess this was the summer of Steve and Abe's first FEs. I can think of better firsts to share but still nice to knock one off th list

Nice finds Steve, that kg1 has some great detail

I have a feeling it's real old - I also have a feeling we'll never quite know what it is. Lol

Haha. Yep, first FE. I've strangely missed that one. Always nice digging something new

I'm in the same boat as you - I think I have 4 but need to look. This is the first one with a date, however, then the rest were horror shows. Lol.

Now, let's go get FE tattoos! Lol

Another awesome hunt man. Great to see a nice KGI turn up and congrats on the first FE.... And a comp shoe buckle frame is always a great feat.

 

[TheGreatNorth]

Congrats! Love those old coppers. You seem to always sniff them out

 

[Scrappy]

Nice finds Steve, that kg1 has some great detail

Every now and then we get lucky on the detail. This came from a field behind the home, so I would
consider detail on any coin from a farm field a win. Cheers

Thanks Brad. You were aware how the hunt started out - I was mostly blanked for at least an hour since the spot had been hit hard, but luckily things picked up. The buckle frame was a pleasant surprise but it would have been nice to get a complete "AH". Unfortunately this one had iron guts it seems so they don't usually survive.
