decided to go back to the site near the green spectacle site..on the back side of the cellar hole there isn't much room before it's a wet low area.just at the edge near water i got a 72 vdi reading at 7 inches.out popped a greenish disc.last time in this area with Frank i got a almost wiped out mass copper,I really didnt think this coin was gonna be identifiable due to the wet wet muck it was sitting in.targets were sparse so I packed it in.
on the way home I saw a cellar hole on side of rd.stopped at house next door and he owned the property.he said have at it! so much trash you can see some of it in the hole about 2 pounds of heavy gauge copper wire from old electric lines,2 ox shoes, a MACK dog's rump? and some brass scrap.
when i got home i was pleasantly suprised to see my copper was a 1780's Connecticut.hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Dave

I can only echo what's already been said. I don't believe anyone on T-net finds as many coppers as you do. Congrats, now go get some more!!

Im looking for just one colonial coin. Waiting for my first still. Did find my first US plate though so there is still hope for that coin. Great finds!
