Got out today to the farm field since the corn stubble has been knocked down for the past week. Once again, I waved to the tractor operator as he drove by this morning to mow down the next field. Dug a few trash targets and then got a 79-81 signal, shallow. Flipped out the plug and found that the object was in the plug. Broke away a little soil to reveal a dark disk. Coin or flat button? Turned out to be a coin. As you'll see from the picture composite and the video, it is a 1787 Connecticut copper. Prior to this one, my only other minted post-colonial was a Vermont copper, also 1787.
This coin is approx. 28mm in diameter and weighs 6.78 grams or 104.6 grains.
Thanks for watching!
