7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

my hunting buddy Forino is up from maryland for the weekend & wanted to get some detecting in.
so,we found 2 cellar holes that we had never been to before.we were all stoked walkin up on these.pounded to death! not even a lousy button :tard:
so,I suggested we go back to my old faithful church green.
working the edge of the grass near the road alongside a tree got a nice 80ish VDI.6 inches out pops the draped bust LC.walked around the other side of tree about 5 feet from the draped bust get a good mixed signal, at 5 inches out pops the 1849 braided hair LC,stick my pinpointer back in the hole another signal :icon_scratch: a chinese cash coin surfaces.stand up scan the hole with detector..another signal :o did this for 5 mins.all in the same hole were 4 canadian LC's,a chinese cash coin and the 1849 large cent.then 2 IH's one being a toasted 1871 :(
I guess i cant count the canadian LC's as large coppers but what about the chinese cash coin? :dontknow: this really threw a monkey wrench into my total on the year.
the 2 US large cents brings me to 67 3/4's what do you guys say about the rest? :-\

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

Always nice to find more than one coin per hole. Less digging required :laughing7: I found a coin similar to the chinese but without any details. Not sure it is even a coin but will defintley take a second look now after viewing yours. Mine has the same type of square cut out in the middle. HH
 

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

They're large, and they're cents. Why wouldn't you count 'em? :dontknow:

I've only dug one ... an 1859 Bank of Upper Canada one penny token. But I count it in my (very limited) LC total.

Good diggin'.
 

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

Now thats a find worth bragging about!
 

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

I bet when you saw all those coppers you though they were all colonial,what is it with you with all these copper spills.
Nice Finds Gary
 

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

Coppers are Coppers...........Add them to the total...Dont know about the Chinese coin...Id throw that one back for luck!! hahaha Our hunts during the "Brothers& Others Hunts" in Vermont we add all large coppers to our totals including the Canadian Lg. cents. Great Job once again!

keep on Digging! John

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

Waterbury may have been the brass city, but the people in CT sure had a lot of holes in their pockets!

Nice going!
 

Re: 7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

Nice coins finds :headbang:

I found 3 of those Yen in a hole with a bone in it also :-\

They say we find them because so many Chinese came here to build the railroads they had value as money during this time :coffee2:
