Hello everyone,
Had our first metal detecting club hunt for 2017 on a very old property dating back to the early 1700s that yielded some cool finds yesterday, variety of coppers were dug up, a New Jersey, couple of King Georges, some Indians, and Silvers, my friend got the best find of the day 1790 two Reale.
I wasn't finding much other than a small flat button when finally lo and behold about 7 inches down I popped up a copper. Wasn't sure what it was but I did see the eye and rays, thought it might be a Nova Constellatio copper but there was just enough detail to identify it as a Vermont copper, the 1786 VERMONTENSIUM type. It's very toasted but it's a first for me and a bucket lister.
Also found a 1947 Rosie
Enjoy photos and Happy Hunting
