This is actually a combination of two hunts since I never get long periods to hunt. The first copper I found yesterday at my old 1670 church site. Man I love that place - here's the copper just out ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1456361620.007748.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1456361631.159842.jpg
Turned out to be what looks like a classic head 1816
I also scored two Roosies and a couple do-dads including a silver chain and cool pin.

Today's hunt was a quick 20 minutes at a local park. Figured I would score a few modern silver coins since all my colonial spots have dried up. I locked on a nice 12-45 and out pops a copper. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1456361740.031716.jpg

Turned out to be an 1830, which is pretty damn cool since the oldest coin I've pulled out of this park prior was a 1889 seated. Needless to say when you're going for modern silver and score a large cent it's a nice surprise. What a nasty afternoon to hunt ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1456361871.813724.jpg

I scored a couple more goodies including a Washington q and an emerald ring.

The coppers were roach city but I don't mind. They look great in a big pile in my display with the clean ones on top;)

Keep on digging

Smoked coppers are our "bread and butter". Can't wait to see what you have in mind.
Feels good to pull out old coppers
Thanks George. I hope you're getting out and we need to do a hunt this spring!

Great job buddy. Those toasty ones are just us paying our dues on the way to that next stunner. One of us will pull a super rare stunner in 2016. I'm talking stupid rare.
Just a quick story for you from your psychotic superstitious buddy. Kim picked out a new coffee table and sofa table last weekend. I went and picked them up today. They have these really cool old looking bolt heads on them. I looked closely at them and lo and behold they all have 88 on them. You know what that means brother lol

I do!

That's a sweet table. I remember once I went 8 paces forward and 8 paces left at a site after you mentioning the "8's" theory, and dug a sweet coin. Can't remember which one but it was notable.

I better use it again.

Oh Lord! Look out Ahab8 has it nailed!
You have to be very careful to find where the 8's are hiding. Maybe on a gum wrapper, maybe a knot on an old tree....
That is freakin sweet 1670s site I wish there was one of thos around here awesome job!!!!
The finds don't come easy there any longer, but it's my happy place, so I visit it on occasion. They also have a museum inside that I stocked with finds from the property. Cobs, relics, Spanish milled, etc...
Sweet finds as usual! That's a pretty cool emerald ring
Thanks J.
