Hello Folks
I hope everyone is doing alright out there. I Have been detecting quite a bit and making some nice finds but haven't been posting for six months or so. Anyhow, yesterday I was out at an old farm I have been detecting for a month or so and have made some nice finds at. I decided to try a new area and was walking down the old farm road across one of the fields when I got a good signal. Popped it out and it ended up being a clad dime. A couple feet away, right in the grass down the middle of the road I got another good signal. I figured it was going to be another clad coin, but out popped this guy. At first it was thought to be a nova constellatio, but one of my eagle eyed coin ID experts said no, it is a Vermont Landscape Copper. This was a new coin for me. I have dug a Vermont copper in the past, but this one is entirely different looking. Thankfully there was just enough detail left to identify it. I included another picture from coinfacts.com in case you haven't seen what they looked like. There is a handful of varieties, but I don't know if I will be able to figure that out.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting

What an interesting coin. I have never heard of such a thing. Thanks for elevating my coin IQ a few notches. Congratulations on a very unique recovery.
