a 4 copper day

[leddel]

today my buddies George , Chris and i went out to look for a couple of new sites ( from info we got last weekend) so at dawn's early light we were trekking through the brisk woods to the first site but we couldn't find it. on the way we spotted a suspicious looking area to hit for a few minutes , still not 100% sure what it was. almost nothing but iron signals but i did pull out one of the crappiest coppers i ever saw with a hole in the middle . shortly after we went to look for site 2 , this one was a big center chimney colonial with lots of area . George shortly pulls up the first coin and yells out hey i gotta wheatie ( you gotta be kidding) . well after some time i picked up some buttons and 3 more coppers , a 1787 fugio penny ,an 1805 draped bust large cent and a ships colonies commerce token . thanks for looking and hurry up and get out there before you can't .

All right Leddel my man. You guys are keeping my colonial juices flowing by posting these coppers. I found a Ships Colonies and Commerce token a couple of years ago here in Pa. In the same hole as a 1844 or 42 copper. I love the Fugio and that Draped bust is in great shape. Keep em coming my friend.
Chris

thanks Chris , wish i could only get the half cents you have been pulling up (our group only has 1, a draped bust that i got , my first) and its in poor shape too. take care and hope you guys hit the copper motherload real soon.

Dan

do you mean george(coinnut) tell grandma he better take more vitamins. that is one great hunt i like the ship token !! no i like it all. willy

yup ya got me Willy, Coinnut is George the secret is finnally out , and now if he loses this copper race with no other identity to hide behind everyone will know him and his shame . oh the humanity

Dan,

Amazing day! and 33 coppers... wow!

Paul

thanks Paul , i see you've been on fire with that e-trac

You had a great day with 3 out of 4 being in pretty darn good conditiion. Three or more coppers for me on one hunt is a rarity anymore and never was a common occurance, my son does it more than me, I'm more of a Oner on a hunt!
Love the Ship Token, and Fugio and nothing wrong with the Draped Bust either. Any idea on the holed one? My gut feeling on holed ones with a smaller hole in the center of a coin is a mark to say it is a counterfeit, but just my feeling on coppers like that......

Don

thanks Don i'm pretty sure th holed copper is a left facing Connecticut copper , all i can make out is an outline of the bust and it lines up best to a draped Conn. i'm hoping to later on post better picture of the fugio as i said its a club ray variety .
