Hunted with a friend yesterday. He always kicks my butt with finds. With both have AT Pro's. Most of the time I clear the area of junk so he can haul in the good scores but yesterday was my day- My very first Connecticut copper 1787. My oldest coin before this was a large cent 1809. The face is a little tough but still I'm really pleased! Hope to find more someday!

Hi Bev! :hello:
Congratulations on finding the 1787 Connecticut Copper! :hello2:

I've seen your finds steadily getting better over the past two years.
Now that you have the At Pro, you're ready to kick some butt! :laughing7:

Best of luck to you this year Bev,
Dave

Congrats on the state copper Bev! They seem to come easy for some people, but for the rest of us they are few and far between. I am still looking for my first that I can positively identify as a state copper, although I have a few questionable ones.

Great advice on LinkedIn regarding the AT Pro!

Great find. Even better because you can actually read a date. Mine is worn smooth pretty much...can just see the bust on the front and faintly see the lady on the back, but no date!
