Excellent hunt, love the old copper! Congratulations.
 

Super nice LC and Ct. copper too! Good show!
 

Nice condition young head! :icon_thumright:
 

Here's a closer pic. This is about the 50th or so post colonial era coin that I've dug in this area. These were dug in what I've called a plume. In a strip about 50 yards long 20 feet wide. 20 coins or so in that strip. There was a house at one point in the field. I assume it burned as I found a thimble with a piece a chared wood in it. There must have been a pot or jar with coins in it when it went down. Then they farmed over the site. I'm not really sure if that's the facts. Also found numerous buttons spoons knick knacks..brick.glass shells.

Great looking coins! Ill take a state copper in any condition! That LC is in great shape. HH!
 

great coppers!, that LC is in great shape!!
 

Great looking LC!!! I have only found 3 ever and no where near that condition...someday day soon, some day soon. Again, very nice! :occasion14:
 

Congratulations on a great find
 

Thank you for sharing your hunt and those pictures with us .
 

You must be on some good ground. Make sure you go back and try again. We all miss something. The CT is a Draped Bust Facing Left variety. It the most common type of CT and there are many different varieties of this type. Most are 1787's although they made a couple of varieties in 1786 and some in 1788. Nice finds.
 

That LC is one beautiful coin! Congrats on 2 very nice finds. I think I would have to dig every little chirp.
 

Wow great site Tony! Love the state quarters
 

Nice finds Tony.
The site you are working is very similar to one I have been working
The past couple of years.I have found a few large cents,king George and even an 1803 half dime.
I can't wait to get back out hunting. Thanks for sharing.
 

Nice digs. I like large penny's
