Spent a couple hours hitting the tiny isolated homestead that my son got a NJ copper at last month and both him and I got three 1798 Large Cents on the same hunt. I beat the bushes for the finds today, used my smaller coil and my efforts were rewarded with some more goodies from this very small site.
At first I thought I had a copper coin, and was satisfied that I got one and some buttons but just before i quit for the day I got another coin signal and this was a no doubt about it King George II copper fresh out of the ground.
Once I got home and looked more closely at what I thought might have been my first copper of the day I saw more of a button appearance than a coin. So after cleaning and studying the copper I will have to call it an unknown, not sure if some beat the heck out of a copper coin or out of a old large button, either way, I will for now call it a button.
Been a good week for tombacs, think it I have 4 or 5 this week alone, always like getting them, but better if they have designs on them though.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Ticks were bad at this site, time now to spray the socks and pants with Permanone and have some protection, none on the body, but must have flicked off at least a dozen over the course of the hunt from my jeans, this time of year it pays to wear the light colored jeans, in order to see those little buggers crawling up your pants!
