Braided Hair Large Cent

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Hey, folks, Colonial KirkPA, Colonial Silver Zeus, and I got out to a new site today. When we first arrived at our metal datecting destination, Colonial KirkPA had the dry heaves for about 5 minutes. It didn't take long for Colonial KirkPA to get his metal datecting game face on after I said, "You better get that-a-dry-heaving done, boy, because we-ain't-a-waiting for ya, buddy boy." Let me just say that Colonial KirkPA was super sick today, and he still found a way to get out and detect with the passion.

Well, to make a long metal datecting story short, I excavated a pewter spoon handle and an 1848 Braided Hair largie. The largie was next to a piece of iron, so I couldn't pinpoint it without getting some kind of interference. It was 5 inches deep, folks!

On the way home, Colonial KirkPA started yacking into a plastic bag...yacking like a super sick gibbon on a drive home from the zoo. Well, Colonial KirkPA decided to yack out the window one time, but instead of it landing on the super historic highway, it landed on the car windaws (windows) and my Colonial-seeking jib. Yes, folks, once that spew hit my jib, I started cussing like a drunken sailor. I told him, "Boy, if I were able to, I would knock your jib into next week."

Overall, we had a great day out in the field, and we had some experiences that we'll never forget for our entire Colonial-seeking lives.

I hope everyone else is having a great 2008 season as well!

It is a pewter handle off of a Colonial eating utensil.

My bad, That's what I get for not reading carefully!

Nice copper Kyle. Was the site that your research led you to the same house that is currently standing on the property or was there an older homesite on the same property?

Nice job on the LC Kyle.
Don't tell me Kirk stuffed his face with doughnuts again like last year, and blew chunks!
Nice job Guys.

There was an older homesite on the same property that was torn down 50 years ago. The landowner's husband laid down a lot of fill dirt in the area as well.

Actually, he just pulled off a third shift at the hospital last night. He also didn't eat anything prior to detecting today. That boy will learn one of these days.

Thanks for the comment, buddy.

Thanks, Dan, for the reply.

Or, I will tell him not to make a meal out of last month's leftovers.

I, as well as yourself, must keep our passions high, my good buddy from SoCal!

Once I got the vibration, with my VibraProbe, at the bottom of the hole, I knew I had something special. I picked a handful of doyt up and felt a large object in my hand; I knew it was a large coppa after that.

I will never forget today for as long as I live. Between us yucking it up and Kirk yacking it up there is plenty of memories forever burned onto my hardrive. You had a great day today Zoyboy. It's what we are after.

It is what we are after indeed, you looney boy. OOOOF Whenever a large coppa, Colonial or any American large cent, surfaces, it is considered a very successful hunt.

Hopefully, for next week, Mr. Zoysterboy will allow us to hunt his property. We should excavate a few coppas there as well, you looney boy. OOOF

Zoy,

That was the most hilarious thread of all time! No, folks, my brother did not fabricate this story for your amusement.

At this minute in time, we are laughing super hard. Yes, I was a sickly passionate detectorist today, which led to my ultimate demise at the end of the hunt.

Here are the da-tails: While loading up our gear, I said to my relatives, "I better keep these bags up front." Well, after 10 minutes in the car, the hacking began. I hacked up my entire blue Gatorade...the entire bag was filled with blue fluid. During this moment, Zeus kept saying, "Just keep it in the bag, Looney." In between my ultimate hacks and spews, my relatives decided to still have a jovial time...John Walter jokes flying from the backseat (Zoy's location), political chat ("The Stands" ), etc.

The best part: Since I hacked up my entire gut, my mouth tasted weird, so I decided to lean my head out the window to spit some spit to relieve my foul spit. Well, while launching a wad onto the tarmac at 65 m.p.h., out of the blue, my entire gut wanted to hack up some more...spew flinging at super speeds out the window...since Zoy had his window down in back, my spew flung onto his window and onto his face and arms. After he b%tched me out about how much of an a$$ I am, he and Zeus decided to joke it up some more. The day soon ended with me hacking up the orange Gatorade that Zeus gave me later.

Keep the passion high!

Thank for the reply, Detectingfreak!

This is my 10th large coppa for the year, and the groups 27th for the year. I have set a goal of 20 or more for the year. Our future research sites should yield us handfuls more.
