Had a great detecting week end. The harvest is in the full speed so more fields get accessible every day.

The best find was without a doubt my very first Fugio cent. To be honest it wasn't really on my bucket list as I never though of finding one in Canada.
It's not in the top shape but I'm still pretty happy with the condition as other coins in the area didn't survive that well.

An other great find was a Connecticut copper 1786 (4.1-G) Second one this month.

Than my favorite military find of the week end. My first US Artillery button 1812

An unusual relic and my only silver find this week end. Didn't think much of it when I've found it, but still left it in my car. Latter on checked it again and noticed the STERLING mark. Not sure if it's from a walking cane or part of a powder flask.

A few civilian buttons.

Dang ! That's all you got ? pathetic ! ( not really) Is the open end on the silver piece large enough to accomodate a walking stick/cane ? Are there any known powder flasks made of sterling silver ? Great finds !!

Wow you did incredibly well. The first few coppers I found were in pretty nice shape. I thought to myself wow it can only get better! Now I know the truth... that we are really lucky to find them with anything on them! Congrats on the great finds! I hope that one day I can mind my business!!!
