222 Year old Post colonial copper and some relics

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

CKK got out to a new site today on this brisk 42 degree Pa. day. We began and were detecting for about 35 minutes and I heard Kyle sputter something about this possibly not being the exact spot. He no more than uttered these words when a certain higher tone ID on my Vision Spectra told me that there was a copper below me. In swing mode all 3 frequency blocks lined up narrowly in a perfect line. When I pinpointed it the low frequency green line was predominant. It also coinchecked in size in a nice point. 1787 left facing Conn. post colonial. You can make it out even if it is corroded. I'm happy with it. The Conn is one of my most favorites. My 2nd one this year. For all you iron freaks out there I also found a large axe head, 2 square nails and a horse shoe and a half. Also a flat button and 2 musket balls to top off the hunt. I guess no one can accuse me of cherry picking today. Kirk also found a copper which I am sure he will soon post.

Nice going Chris on another CT copper, wonder if the early settlers in your part of the state relocating or in general had in the area, people moving in from the New England area. Seems like a high proportional amount of CT coppers being found in your area. Just a thought.

I know my area of Pa (where I grew up) probably would not have that many, and don't believe I see them posted much if any from Berks county, probably becuase the settlers were mostly English and Germans, with the English coming directly from England to the area and likewise with the Germans coming directly from Germany to settle in that area....

So, over the years now how many CT coppers have your group found?

Don

I have 3 Connecticut coppers. Chris has about 7 (if I am correct). We definitely dig a lot more Connecticut coppers than most on this forum, but we attribute it to the fact of the Connecticut claim.

Kirk

Geeze I also have 3, must be some CT land claims here too.

Even with a huge advantage you can't out dig me!

It took you 10 looooong years to get just three. That is laughable, IP.

Yep, they're a scarce find in these parts but we do hit one now and again. But like you say 10 years, that's not a great average. It's been at least 5 years since I found one so am very due!

I hear the clock ticking. Just a few hours from me had it's first blast of snow.

Nice copper man

It is a shame what pa does to coppers. You guys would have one heck of a collection of great coins if they were from nj. There still great just seems all your guys coppers are really bad.

HH Jer

Ok, since we are from PA and our coppers are a little corroded, our collections aren't really good. It is the history of the coin that matters, not the value/condition. With 74 coppers for the year, I would have to say about 20 are in bad condition. This year has treated us well with condition compared to previous years.

Kirk

 

[JerV3]

Yeah I agree,

Was saying you could retire on those coins if they were coming out of great soil. I know the feeling. I get my share of coppers also. Most of the time they are toasty. Wish they all came out like the one's the guys find in NJ. There still great finds crusty or nice.
