Forum, :headbang: :hello2:

Wellllll, the "3 Datectateers" got out today for an awesome treasure hunt. The weatha was a superb super sunny day. :laughing3: I would have to say that it was super better than last week. :laughing9: :love10: The 3 self-proclaimed professionals decided to head to our super productive Colonial farm, folks! :laughing11: :headbang: Yup, we were kind of ticked off that the super nice farmer did not harvest anymore of his fields. :help: :laughing11: Folks, let me tell you, we have NOT hit our MAIN site yet, which, by the way, is on this farm. :headbang: :hello:

To make a long story short, we all began with our usual PASSION...it was super high! We started to sweep our ANALOGS in the area where Zeus dug the 3 coppas last week, including the Liberty Cap. ;D :headbang: But, after about 30 minutes, I noticed that we started to head to areas where our guts told us to go...no, I don't, literally, have a gut. ;D :laughing11:

I was detecting in an area where there were some nice patches of iron, when I was hit with a nice "Quarter" hit. I was soon super gibbon-like happy when I saw a large greenie in the doyt....a COPPA!!! :thumbsup: I yelled for Zoyboy to come over because I knew I had located a dweller's cabin. :headbang: The coin turned out to be a Draped Bust large cent! :headbang: I can see part of the date "180?" :icon_sunny: :thumbsup: Seriously, about 3 minutes later, I got a "P" on "Penny" hit. This one turned out to be a Colonial!!! :headbang: After a 10 minute tumble, I think I can see some da-tail, but it is hard to say. I know for a Colonial fact that it is a Colonial coppa! :hello2: :headbang: Oh, just to let some dudes know, these coins were found in the relative area where I dug my Lathing Hatchet!!! Wink, wink, wink! :wink: :wink: :wink: :laughing11:

Folks, I was on a coppa streak here! ;D We all blitzed this area with our Colonial passion until the sun started to set in the west. :wink: Well, let me tell you, folks, this site is LOADED and we still have a few more fields to hit. :o :D We will be back there in the early morning manana! ;D Wish us luck! :thumbsup: :icon_pirat:

Keep your passion high! :thumbsup:

Evo,

Hey, man, this is my 3rd coppa from this site in two weeks. :wink: :) Our group has been yanking them out lately! :)

That greenie in the hole was my high for the day! :thumbsup: My passion couldn't be any higher at this Colonial moment in time.

Dan,

My friend, it is nice to hear from you! Buddy, I am suuuuper pumped now with these coppa finds. Our group, actually, has been pulling them out of the ground in record numbers. :)

I will probably stay up all night and think about this great hobby...who needs sleep when Colonials are in our future? :wink: :D

I must say, my passion has never dwindled! :wink: :)

Dan, keep your coil sweeping! :thumbsup:

Hey, Doug, thanks for the reply. It usually happens...we go on these droughts and then, BANG, coppa heaven! :D

Kyle has been in a slump. Even though he does have 10 coppas for the year along with TWO great Spanish wilvers, he still wants more. Would you blame him? :D He did find an 18th to 19th century buckle today. :wink: :thumbsup: :icon_sunny:

Keep it high, man!
