A Big Copper Day

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Went back to where I got the De Laval fob the other day, and expanded the search area farther from the house. After a couple hours all I had was a half full pouch of trash. I'm just about to call it quits for this site, and get a decent signal, pull up a toasted jack knife. I thought well that's best find of the day. Two steps away I get a signal that goes all the way up to 90 on Omega. There is a thick layer of old grass about 3 inches deep then another 7 into the dirt (have video) I pull out the Big Copper. (33mm) Now I'm happy, and done.

1838 ONE STIVER. PURE COPPER PREFERABLE TO PAPER. A long ways from perfect, but at least good enough to identify, fully half of the coppers I find are completely toast.

The 1815 Half P Token I got yesterday GENUINE BRITISH COPPER. Breton number 886

2012 Copper total 3

you might not be finding many coins yet but at least you are finding some decent ones, those stivers show up from time to time ,I must have a half dozen of them by now ,and I haven't turned one down yet, keep up the good work!

Great finds, Rick! What a great way to start off the season.

That Stiver is more than decent!

Nice copper finds Rick. I found a Half Penny Token a few years back . There is a lot of history behind that coin.
Thy were made by private partys , allowed by the King. There was a shortage of small coins in the States at that time .

[Iron Patch]

yep, obviously the ship carrying most of those was sent to the North East. I too have several, and one that's nice enough I don't need anymore.

Looks good to me! Congrats on the coppers. I don't know how many times I've found good things just as I was thinking of quitting. WTG
