1787 Connecticut Copper + Other Stuff

[grasshopper]

Back at the 1790s court house site today. It was cold and the ground was pretty frozen so this is likely it for the year until spring.

Got a 1787 Connecticut Copper with enough details for identification. Unfortunately I nicked the back as I was chiseling through the soil. The homeowner has recently done some bulldozing and this coin was about 1/2" deep.

Besides this I came away with some flat buttons, a nice flower cuff link, a marked pewter spoon handle and what i believe is a broken shoe buckle tongue.

I'm up to 68 buttons from this site now....

Congrats on the great recoveries! Its a pain trying to get a target out of the ground when everything is frozen. I feel your pain.

Nice finds! Ground here is freezing hard real fast. I'm always concerned about damaging my target when I have to literally chisel it out of the ground (plus I am basically lazy and a too much of a wussy to go out when the temperature is in the teens anyway). More fun to surf TreasureNet.
