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.jpgImageUploadedByTreasureNet.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 huntImageUploadedByTreasureNet.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

Nice finds Scrappy. Coppers, silver and an emerald ring! Wow
 

I think the emeralds look more like Peridot...

Awesome digs... Thunder and lighting over me right now... Thats gotta mean spring is coming, right?!?!?!
 

Congrats on digging all those keepers. :occasion14: How deep were those LC's Steve? The oldest coin I pulled from a park was a 1907 Indian Head.
 

Good job steve, nothing like a large cent surprise
 

Nothing like a surprise LC.... actually surprise GWs are better :laughing7: Awesome two hunts man :thumbsup: Great job on the coppers, silvers, chain and ring.
 

Great Scrappy. What are the copper coins? They look like the coins i usually find. And the pinpointer looks like mine [emoji12]
 

Nice digs steve I cant wait to get home and dig in dirt again
Floridas nice for a visit ...but to dig here year round ? Ill take the soil over sand. Cant wait for april see you soon. Hh gl
 

Padirtdigger is correct, I believe... peridot is the stone.

Very well done Scraps! Big coppers, jewelry and silver coins... yep, that's the stuff I like!

Best of luck to you, and I will see you in a few weeks!
 

Cool coppers, nice silver !!! I'm in a LC drought, anyway, keep them coming !! Congrats and HH
 

Looks like you scored some nice finds. Although most are toasted when they come out of the ground around here it's great when you get that unexpected surprise. 2 LC's, a Barber dime, emerald ring and other goodies. I'd say you did quite well. Works for me.
 

Way to go Steve. I can see the wreath on the back of that copper so all is not lost on the details.
