7 COPPER DAY* ONE HOLE HAD 6 COINS*2 IH'S

my hunting buddy Forino is up from maryland for the weekend & wanted to get some detecting in.
so,we found 2 cellar holes that we had never been to before.we were all stoked walkin up on these.pounded to death! not even a lousy button :tard:

so,I suggested we go back to my old faithful church green.
working the edge of the grass near the road alongside a tree got a nice 80ish VDI.6 inches out pops the draped bust LC.walked around the other side of tree about 5 feet from the draped bust get a good mixed signal, at 5 inches out pops the 1849 braided hair LC,stick my pinpointer back in the hole another signal :icon_scratch:

a chinese cash coin surfaces.stand up scan the hole with detector..another signal

did this for 5 mins.all in the same hole were 4 canadian LC's,a chinese cash coin and the 1849 large cent.then 2 IH's one being a toasted 1871

I guess i cant count the canadian LC's as large coppers but what about the chinese cash coin? :dontknow:

this really threw a monkey wrench into my total on the year.
the 2 US large cents brings me to 67 3/4's what do you guys say about the rest? $:-\$

Always nice to find more than one coin per hole. Less digging required :laughing7:

I found a coin similar to the chinese but without any details. Not sure it is even a coin but will defintley take a second look now after viewing yours. Mine has the same type of square cut out in the middle. HH

They're large, and they're cents. Why wouldn't you count 'em? :dontknow:

I've only dug one ... an 1859 Bank of Upper Canada one penny token. But I count it in my (very limited) LC total.

Good diggin'.

Coppers are Coppers...........Add them to the total...Dont know about the Chinese coin...Id throw that one back for luck!! hahaha Our hunts during the "Brothers& Others Hunts" in Vermont we add all large coppers to our totals including the Canadian Lg. cents. Great Job once again!

Waterbury may have been the brass city, but the people in CT sure had a lot of holes in their pockets!

Nice going!

Nice coins finds :headbang:

I found 3 of those Yen in a hole with a bone in it also $:-\$

They say we find them because so many Chinese came here to build the railroads they had value as money during this time :coffee2:
