Scrappy Live dig - 1777 unearthed

[Scrappy]

I love watching others digging videos but filming as I'm digging ain't really my thing so a video from me is rare. Today was an exception. A twenty minute dig scored a copper and a Merc.

I have dug a couple old coins including a Liberty cap and a 1797 draped bust not 5' from this location so I decided when I got a 12-41 at 8" that I'd film. I'm not sure how I missed the signal before. Well, here goes -

Well it's a KG3, 1777. Thought I may get lucky with a state copper but alas no luck.


Enjoy
Steve

CONGRATS on the Big Copper
I can't do videos, the fans would be overwhelming

Great post I love videos but I don't have patience to do videos. Plus my finds are few and far between for silver or old coins. Great Job

That's kind of the thing about it. A lot of crap is dug between nice finds. This one had a very high chance of being good which is the only reason I recorded it.

Not a camera man myself.Nice find man,great shape too!Aren't you guys supposed to be under snow up that way

It's been crazy - first 30" and then 40-60 degree weather. The Snow melted in 9 days by me

Very cool.... Thanks for the quickie!

Yeah no problem man. There have been a lot of targets I knew were good before digging that I was just to impatient to film - maybe I should try more? Lol

Nice KG scrappy. I Enjoyed the live dig!

Thanks bud

 

[Scrappy]

That's quite a find!
Since there wasn't any half pennies produced in 1777; could be its a '71?

Doesn't look like a Machins.....are you sure of the date?? Need closeups as your fingers are hiding the rim.

Never will get sick of those! But probably 1775 with a distorted 5.

You guys were on that one! 1777 does not exist! Lol. I realized as soon as I posted and said "with all the KG3's I see posted and find I've never seen a 1777" but it was too late. My vote is a "5" but this photo won't be much help

Nice Steve! Can't believe you're still digging up there, but looks like you're gonna have to take a break this weekend.

Congrats Scrappy, I see you came back with a bang... ba-da-bing

Lol. Glad I could entertain! Lol. Badda bing!

Sweet. A rare Scrappy video and a Nice find! [emoji106]

Very rare. I'm trying to remember if it's my first. Can't remember

Nice, Steve.

Thanks for watching

Well done Steve. It is difficult to make a clip, it seams like a waste of time when you are out there but when u get back you regret it. [emoji106]

Thanks and you're right; I've watched it 5x at work. It's actually nice reliving the moment.

Great video and awesome coin.And I knew you would come out of your winter retirement to hunt since the warm spell came by.

I couldn't resist. I hunted a few days ago with a friend and he found Spanish silver while I only found flat buttons. I needed a quickie and a older find

Nice live dig, you have some great sites Steve, congrats!

Thanks Brad. Actually this is a site I've hit hard. Didn't think there were any remaining signals really. Anyway I heard you were the guy with the killer sites!!

Killer Scrappy! Very well done sir. You never cease to amaze.

Best of luck to you brother!

Colonial Parking Lot, about 5' from that 1797 you know where.... Lol

Nice job Steve. Enjoyed your video.

Thanks TZ. I may do another in about 2 years lol
