80TH LARGE COPPER OF THE YEAR & A OLD HRR RAIL ROAD TAG

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with Gary(foundationhunter) the sites we originally wanted to go to couldn't gain access so,we went to plan B a couple other sites I had in mind.We ended up doing pretty good.Gary got a 1843 braided hair large cent. I got 2 coppers.one is a 1837 matron head LC & the other is a King George II.both kinda toasted.I think my find of the day is this rail road tag.I believe it may stand for Housatonic Rail Road.gotta do a little research on it.
these 2 coppers make 80 on the year.last year i had 80 3/4's so, one more and i break my record.gettin out with sniffy sunday so,hopefully tomorrow will be the day!
link for Housatonic Railway.this tag is pre 1892 then

Great Going on Some Awesome Relics! Congrats on #79 & #80! 100 is in sight, Good Luck!

I am sure that you will have no problem beating 80 3/4 coppers. It would be funny if your next was only 1/2 a copper. I bet you would stand there shaking your head

Nice digs. I'm hoping you'll dig another large copper pocket spill. 100 coppers would be something to see.

That 100 Coppers is getting close Dave. You will do it!! HH, Quindy.

A couple decent coppers there.
Good luck out there today, getting to 81 is just a formality now.

Ticks in November, that's a drag, at least around here they tend to disappear around mid Aug.

Stuck at 80? How terrible for you!


Good luck today! Wish you were hunting closer to the RI line today!

Quite a few goodies there, the reverse on the GII is nice, usually that side is worse than the bust.
Site appears to be an early one, think I see a 17th C latten spoon bowl
Congrats on the oldies !! HH, Herbie.
