Hi T Net Checked out an old field near the town nearby that was Est. in the 1760's . Two cans of bug spray , an old Fisher CZ , 5 gatorades , and 5 hour random search yielded some exciting finds. First picture ... Hit this picture frame right out of the gate . It is brass and I found all 4 corners intact in the field 
the picture was long gone of course , but it cleaned up great and it is in amazing condition . 8) Iron square nails led to an iron hook or pot swivel . Shards of china and pottery , oyster shells , brick and stone ... tell tale signs of habitation. Seems like there was more in the field then crops . Found some musketballs , one inch iron ball , some buckles and another fancy rosette . A neighbor of the owner showed up and told me there were apple orchards in the field many years ago . The stone could be native american , I am not sure put it seems too out of place and different than most of the rocks here . Lots of iron ore . Best finds were a 1787 Vermont colonial " Vermon Auctori " Inde Et Lib on reverse , 1787 KG III Hibernia " always a 
to get one , a superfine backmark flat button , a tombac pewter button , ornate brass picture frame and an old gold ring 
. Feels good to finally get back out in the fields 
Thanks for stopping in dawg Have you found a Vermont copper 
, I would like to get a quick count from T Net finders of Vermont colonial coppers. Curious to see how many 
Thanks

. Nice Coppers ! It looks like the ground took good care of them for you and sounds like a great place to hunt too.
Nice to see a Vermont Copper being found, those are far and few inbetween for sure. My son and I have not found one in over a decade, and three of the four we found were found at one old site, so congrats on getting this one. If you could muster some straight on photos of both sides, might be able to narrow down the variety, the most common one found seems to be the variety Ryder 16, but rare ones are out there. I agree with IronPatch the the Hibernia is most likely 1781, that was a big production year, especially counterfeit ones.
have a cold one
