1749 KG II Copper at the Liard site...

JW15 · Jan 19, 2012

Hey everyone,

I had a little time to get out today so I hit up the same spot as yesterday and managed a decent 1749 KG II Copper! This site is right next to the main drag in the town I was in so I'm pleasantly surprised this spot is still producing! Anyways thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Sweet copper. I found two toasted large cents in a grass strip adjacent to a newer Home Depot. I totally would have assumed those coins would have been lost to construction but you never can tell unless you try!

Thanks Dwayne, went back and got broken pieces of a buckle and a lead shot for a pistol. I'm guessing the area was hit hard but this one area was overlooked. Whoever hit it first must have had a field day, the site is right next to an old mill with farms and colonial homes right across the street.

Thanks again everyone, I didn't find much else in the immediate area I worked however there's a few more spots to check out but unfortunately I'm snowed in at the moment. ::)

Nice old copper!
I've heard a few times while hunting, 'that place was filled in'
well, where'd the fill come from?

asked some workers who were enlarging a foundation at a very historic site, where they brought the fill, 'Wherever we need it' :thumbsup:

HH to ya!

Thanks Steel! I actually found this coin and the Liard in the original soil in a very small patch of woods right next to where a service road and athletic field where put in. However I know what you mean about fill, it all depends where it came from and sometimes there's only one way to find out! :thumbsup:
