1st COPPER & SILVER of 2012

Got out with Gary back to the cellar hole field we hit a few weeks ago.
It was a beautiful day but the frost was really set in and we had to work for our targets today.Frost was at leat 5 inches see the plug?
And here is me with all my weight trying to dig it
Did ok though despite the conditions.
one 1926 merc, a KG? copper,the biggest chape i have ever seen from a colonial shoe buckle?,a few flat buttons, a 3 lead minnie ball spill, barrel tap spout,a real old hand forged claw hammer head, 2 pewter baby spoon bowls & a ornate pewter button with complete shank.
oh and my heart skipped a beat when i saw this half dollar sized silver disc in the hole joke was on me.a aluminum medal with a guys name "mark" engraved on it

Awesome photographs! Looks like you guys put some time into that hunt right there. I'm sure it paid off though, cause I know it would of with me having that Merc! I cannot wait until I find my first!

Re: 1st COPPER & SILVER of 2012

The hammer kind of looks like one that would be used for horse shoeing.

A great start Dave. Now, I don't know whether we will call you "Captain Copper", "Silver King", or "Hammer Head" by the end of 2012 but I'm betting on the first handle. This mild weather is aiding your fast start to the year too. HH, Quindy.

Re: 1st COPPER & SILVER of 2012

It is a hard to believe January :icon_scratch:. My frost was only one to two inches deep.

Copper "could be" 1806 / 7 GEO III ?

That is a big chape.

Good start one of each.
