    Early Large Cent + King George Copper

    KKC got out to a new Colonial site today. It looks like my coil is still hot on the copper trail. I dug a corroded Draped Bust large cent and a decent King George II halfpenny.

    Keep the passion high, folks!

    Nice coins Kirk, you guys are really doing awesome on the coppers. I also like the bells and buttons, and that number 8 you found.

    The KG II is your winner for the day. Out of the five coppers, four of them were Colonial, which always puts a smile on our faces.

    You and your twin brother did well in the field today Kirk. You covered the King George's ...even if it was your brother that found the KG I.. I assume this was KKC's first KG trifecta. The magic 100 number is fast approaching. Keep it up.

    "Say What"!!! Were is the bucket of water you guy's are on FIRE! Man ol Man my hand is starting to itch.I might have to get that old green machine of mine out of the closet soon. You guy's are killing them coppers simply killing the coppers.A freaking bonanza of coppers! Keep punishing the ground up there guy's.Like I told kyle I like the fact you all added your other finds in.As it is neat to me at least to see the hunt as a whole! And the other types of things you guy's find.Man I'm Happy for you guy's. I don't know of one place that those many coppers would be a sure find.But I do know many places and as time goes on we will see. Two has been my best. 8)
