Hey everyone!
Today was my best copper day yet...Up until today I'd been working the Trime spot here and there hoping to reach my goal of 40 coppers before the year is out and came up
with one (TOASTED) as well as a buckle here and a little silver there,etc(nothing crazy).
Old School Evan suggested we try an old cellar hole(s) spot and try our luck and what an excellent suggestion it was! Right off the bat I pulled a decent shoe buckle and we
proceeded to work the general areas around the cellar holes. About an hour or so later I was working a small hillside when I got a high tone that sounded like it was a large
aluminum target. I had my doubts but not enough to put me off of flipping a plug and as soon as I did two coppers popped right out! I yelled to Evan and looked into the
hole in the ground and freaked...7 coppers came out of the hole and within inches were the other 3!!! I was totally blown away and frankly I'm still a little jazzed from it!
Before this, 3 in a day was my best so it was a huge thrill! I even pulled a 64 D Rosie just to get on the silver board for good measure
Here's some partial cleaning pics...Had to use my friend's cell to take these pics unfortunately but so far after cleaning the coppers are as follows...
9 Large Cents ~ 1802,1820,1822,1835(looks double struck),1837,1838,1845,1846 and one 1805 King George III Hibernia Halfpenny. When they're better cleaned I'll post
better pics. On the 1835 I can see a double lining along the face (nose,lips) and it's got me curious if it's rare so if anyone has any info feel free to share. Thanks for looking
everyone and best of luck out there! - ~UPDATE~ The coins are now clean enough to post better photos. The cleaning process I'm using is slow and methodical (no hydro) so sorry for the delay. Here's some scanner pics, not the greatest but...
