Hit it up with Mom and Arty once more at our sacred fields. Im now weilding the T2 with the 13" Ultimate coil and it really is a deeper machine now. Decided to hit a grassy part of a field we havn't been to yet and immediately found where a house or barn sat , iron city. Worked our way around there and within 1 hour pulled 4 coppers out of the soil. 1 of the coppers I think is really old but not sure what it is. Some kind of Irish Half penny of sorts. The other coppers were George II's and the large cent wast 1830's. Left there when the signals ran dry and found copper 5 in the big central field. Decided to hit the field next to it for a change and immediately headed to the back where it butts up against the nipple button and bust coin field. Coppers 6,7,8,and 9 came out of this field. All Georges of some sort. Found a good amount of buttons again, 34. This puts my button count up to 172 and copper count to 18 for 4 days of 8-10 hours of swinging each day. We have been the luckiest people alive to happen on to these fields and find the things we find. May the signals never die!

I'd say so, Jim! Awesome finds. The most colonial coppers I've found in a day are 2. That's awesome man!

Wow Jim, it's amazing what you are harvesting from those fertile fields! The only thing better than seeing a large copper in the hole is seeing early silver!! Nine coppers in one day doesn't happen very often.

Man you guys are absolutely killing it!! Nine early coppers is unheard of for a single hunt. I know you hope this site of a lifetime never comes to an end, but with all the fields that are still producing I feel that you guys will be pulling some nice ones from there for quite a while to come. Congrats on another super hunt!!!
