1787 MASS COPPER, Large cent, Silver & Gold Day !
Started the day nice and warm, 32 degrees. ( NO WIND ). Did some more research on a beach that I was hoping would turn out to be virgin. ( IT WAS ) Picked up my Dad and on our way we went. Arrived and within 5 minutes of the hunt I tuned to see him waving me over to see his first find of the early morning, he was pointing to his ring finger....... I could read his lips, GOLD ! I couldn't get there fast enough. As I was about getting to him I had a signal that we all love to see and hear, SILVER, and sure enough it was, my first ring of the day, a small but very old Knot Ring ( silver in deed ). anyway as I saw the gold being pulled from his goodie bag I got the second hit of the day, out pops a Large Cent an 1802 to be exact... OK we are on a roll already and the pressure is off.... OK I am trying to go slow but it seemed trashless....WOW....... We didn't get many targets, but what we did get was quality finds. His ring turned out to be a High School Ring 10K (no Name) but it had a date that was 1932......Off I went to where I started. Signal three.... A 1916 P Walking Liberty..... OK by this time I thought finally research paid off....... Virgin Ground for sure. fourth signal I just can't believe 4 inches deep, in the bottom of the scoop is this nice thick and green disk....... a MASS COPPER 1787 OK about now I am starting to tremble a bit.... Now I call Dad to see what I have...lolol he was smiling all the way. he was getting cold but stayed long enough to see me dig the few remaining silver coins, a 1946 Rosie, 1937 Washington Quarter, and a Buffalo Nickel. What a fantastic hunt with my Dad. He turned 80 in November and still has the passion, I will take any day that he is willing to hunt with me.Happy Holidays to everyone.
