This post his for two hunts I had this past Sunday and Monday. A total of 5 hours total was spent between the two days. I dug a good amount of iron both days and on Sunday the only keepers was part of a buckle, a round lead piece and what ended up being the best shape British Copper I have ever dug it is the 1739 one. You don't need any magnification at all to see the date and all the lettering and I don't have great eyes at all. Monday I got the musket ball, piece of a pewter utensil handle and the other King George II Copper. I can't get a date off of that one but some detail is still left. Thanks for reading and looking. Oh I forgot the weights diameters of the Coppers the unknown date one is 8.6grams and 27mm diameter and the 1739 is 9.0 grams and 28.5 mm in diameter.

It looks like you found yourself a great old site to work Bubba. Nice finds. Keep working it. There's more there. I want to see you pull out some silver.

Hey JB thanks my kind of finds too, I go for the colonial stuff that is my passion. The more you pull out of the ground with that Big Coil is making me think I will get one too.
