1766 Hibernia, iron shoe buckle, 4 KG3's, 1798 DBLC, 10 coppers total, button...

I bailed on DIPA weeks ago, but couldn't get my hotel deposit back, so the Basstards of Bramble did a hunt of our own 1-hr from the hotel. It's an old colonial house and Hessian camp I've been trying to get to for almost 2 years.

Found 10 coppers myself, Bart and Charlie did damn good themselves. Virgin colonial is a difficult feat.



My favorite find of the day was the iron shoe buckle followed by the 1766 Hibernia. A close third was the 1798 Draped Bust.

Most everything we have is on Video, but Bartek needs to edit it at his office next week. Until then...

Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

Thx man. 15 total coppers and 30 flat buttons and the rest makes me pretty sure she's not been detectorbanged.

That's one special site- glad the research payed off. Hard to beat a handful of colonial coppers, but I especially like the Hibernia variant. Well done

A day like that seems about unreal... But, i know you did, and man o man... Im gonna have to get out tomorrow!! Today was spent watching my 9 year old son catch a 20" trout and winning the kids fishing derby at my hunting club...

Sooo much copper though, thats like a regular copper mine!! Good research yields good finds... Way to go Bro...

 

[joeyfresh]

I think you're full of it......

I don't know why, but I freakin love that crudely produced four holed large Cent! It took way more work to drill those holes than it did to actually mint that coin. Almost like someone was making a pour spout or something. Back then, you didn't waste a penny unless it was for a kids toy or for some utilitarian purpose. And 10, count em 10, coppers, that's just crazy talk! Nice, very nice! Carl
