A Classic Head copper...Dudes, All-Star ballot is Up! Vote for your top 10!

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Hey, zoysters, I was doing a little bit of research this afternoon on my new laptop, when I suddenly heard the phone ring. It was Paco and he enthusiastically said, "Hey, dude, Steppe said it would be OK if we did some relic hunting on his farm property!" KirkPA (Doyboy) and I took up the opportunity to spend the rest of the evening with our good detecting bud, Paco.

Well, we arrived at the site and, within the first five minutes of swinging my trusty Pro XL, I received a nice button with a shank. Paco glanced over at me and said, "Dude!" Then, Paco and I detected for another twenty minutes without anything to show for. I, being the semi-pro, decided to change my tactic by asking Paco, "Hey, bud, where did you find that Classic Head half cent a few months back?" Paco stated, "Right in that corner, man!" So, I ventured my way over to that area and was soon greeted with a nice mid-range tone that read at "Dime" on my analog meter. I instantly called for Paco and he swung his White's M6 over the hole and stated, "You might have another copper!"

Eventually, I dug down to the 6-inch depth, and noticed a medium-sized disc next to the hole. I instantly picked it up and rubbed the encrusted dirt off, and was introduced to a Classic Head half cent (the second one out of the same corner). After quickly taking off my headphones, I yelled,"Paco!" and performed a 360-degree spin in the air. Paco spastically ran over and congratulated me with many handshakes.

I later found three buttons, two musketballs, and a square nail. Paco found 6 buttons with shanks and two musketballs. Doyboy found a dateless Buffalo nickel at the other end of the field, which was the site of a one-room schoolhouse.

This field has yielded 25 buttons, two Classic Head half cents, and a Draped Bust cent.

Re: A Classic Head copper

It definitely was cool to see my bro find a half cent. Zoy, you have been the most lethal out of the entire cub, with that detector, over the past month. When I walked over to you dudes and flipped you my Buffalo nickel, I didn't expect you to rub a Classic Head in my face. I was wondering why the heck you performed a 360 degree spin.

Another great day for a great detectorist!

Re: A Classic Head copper

Zoy, you are the copper dude! Your year started off slowly, but you are definitely having an "All-American" year now. I will definitely be marking a check next to your name on the all-star ballot.

Re: A Classic Head copper...New Pictures

I thank you for the vote, Doyboy! You are also having an All-County kind of year...hehehehe.

Paco invited us to his site. Zeus, you never detected here before, buck. We do wish you could have graced us with your presence, but we don't know your new #. You must relay that to us, so then we could have given you a call.

All in all, you should be proud of Kyle's retrieval.

Kirk & Zoy,
You guys are a hoot! Thanks for putting me in the top 40 (#25- my lucky # by the way). I'll try harder to make it into the top 10 next time. Not bad though for a $150 Tesoro machine. Watch out when I get my new coil. I'm digging to China!
-MM-

 

[Gribnitz]

LOL, thanks for considering even putting me in a top 40 anything . My coin count is minimal compared to a lot of you coin hunters, but I sure enjoy them when I get em. This has been my best year for 100+ year old coins, even though quite a few have been crusty to say the least.

Now, if I could just get out and actually get a chance to look for some more It's been a good quality year, but my quantity (detecting trips) have been in the pits

 

[texan connection]

Has any one said DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet? Way to go guys, wish I could find a big copper.

Smart move - go where the goods were found before. Nice finds.

As for the "All-Stars"....Thanks for putting me in there. There are plenty of others that make better finds than I.

Kirk, Are you insinuating that one of us is better than all the rest? If that's the case then you can put me at dead last. I am not in need of pumping myself up. Uncle Zeus
