The pictures don't do it justice, it's 1788. Also got 1883 Indian, but who cares about that. Anybody know what variety?
this was found at the 1756 plantation that still stands, this place has been hunted since the 60s, but my etrac gets em real deep. i got lucky by making friends with the only guy allowed to hunt this place, and i found this right in front of the house, it was 9 inchs deep on edge

Beautiful Conn. copper coin! :occasion14:

In the fields up here they are usually toasted when dug at a farm site. When found around old home sites they are more appealing to the eye.

" On edge."... not "On Edge"...doesn't matter...super great digs. Great condition to boot. I have only found one state copper ( Mass), and it was extremely toasty coming out of the ground. Congrats!!!

Congrats on your first state copper. I love CTs. There are so many different varieties. I think Don in SJ is correct on the variety.
