20 Large Copper Day!

[Iron Patch]

Too bad they all suck. So when is the last time you dug 18 coppers and had most of the day remaining to hunt, but left the site? This would have been one heck of a post if two things would have been different. The first is the condition, and the second is if our site wasn't a dump area for modern trash. The place is freakin loaded with coins but it's such a pain to deal with the trash, and add in how toast they are and it's close to not even being worth it. If this site had been our typical farm field with no modern trash I know for certain I would be posting 40+ large coppers. It started out finding a couple of strays but couldn't locate the site, and I actually gave the 5 minute warning! Right after doing so I hit a coin, then we went higher in the field and I dug 5 more in about ten minutes. That was just outside the main site and easy to pick them, but that changed when dealing with the concentration (Iron and modern trash). It was still lots of fun and I have to go back to 2002 for a day that I dug more coppers. Had we stayed I'm pretty sure I would have hit 29 to beat my highest total but we just weren't into it.


PS.... When you go on a hunt with someone named "Lucky Lee" and he has an idea for an old tavern site.... YOU GO!!!

Great Job
Out here in ILL, a 20 copper year would be close to unheard of. We're doing great if we get 1 or 2 a year.

Part of a musket trigger guard. It was the first thing I found in the field and was just enough to keep sniffing around.

20 in a day! Nice one. Must hurt a bit to be digging modern trash, your keeper is there, just going to take work.
The grass is crazy high this year, over here.
You get out late August? Might be down in NS.

I'll be around. If you cross the bridge over this way let me know and Ironhorse and I will probably be able to come up with a field to hunt!

Fresh blood on the fields, might bring luck to the coil.

impressive to say the least, to bad the condition of the coins sucks, I'm still looking for a good copper with details you can see without a loop and a date you can read. still looks like a good time had by all Dean
