6 COPPER DAY! BROKE 70! YEE HAW!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with Gary (foundationhunter) to some sites we haven't been to yet.
1st couple were really quiet one small flat button from each site.onto the next...that was pretty quiet for the most part but after fanning away from the hole 100 yards into the woods i nabbed a shoe buckle frame,then a nice 2 piece floral button coe backmark,next signal was a mutilated holed 1842 braided hair LC,then 10 feet from that i dug a matron head 1816.
we decided to walk up the trail stone walls on both sides and we see a open field with walls all around it.we could see a slight depression in the front of the field .we searched that area and quite a few targets surfaced I think we found...... a homesite plowed over !!!!!
4 more coppers for me.2 toasted matron heads no dates,a possible draped bust LC and a worn smooth copper,a musket ball. last target was a pewter cast buton with a fleur di fleury can never pronounce that nevermind spell it
Gary got a nice KG II,a few buttons & a knee buckle.
was a great hunt,weather was nice,no ticks and I broke 70 coppers on the year with 74 3/4's!

Here out west it is easier to find gold than coppers. In 42 years I have found four coppers and 17 gold coins.......Kane23

And I bet it never gets old

cleaned up one of the coins a little bit more to reveal it's a draped bust LC
and here's a pic of the obverse of the braided hair...ugly huh
