A Metal Detecting Correction: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Yo, zoysters, it's KirkPA's twin brotha, zoyboy. Well, folks, 2007 is just about gone and 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 are not too far off. Well, let's get to this zoyboy's 2007 year.

To make a long metal datecting recap story short, it was a year of research, coppas, relics, butt-ins, spoons, forks, 1830s knives, musketballs, etc. Eventually, as this wonderful year progressed, I began to yank out those coppas in true John Walter fashion. As John Walter would have stated about my year, "Good, that's good, yup, that's what I am after, yup, yup. You know what you're doing, boy." My coppa finds for this year:
-1700 William III coppa
-1787 Connect-i-cut coppa
-Slug Colonial coppa
-Dateless Classic Head half cent
-Numerous other coppas
-Crazy Injuns
-15 Wheat cents
-About 11 handfuls of butt-ins
-About 3 handfuls of musketballs
-One rusty 1830s-style knife
-Yes, folks, this zoyster is 626 wilvers behind Captn_SE (Dan, you frickin' rock, man.)
-A Civil War Infantry Butt-in
-Etc.

Well, folks, this coming year is going to be a dandy. I have narrowed down about 5-10 Colonial-era sites that are now "gone with the long before it." As Chris Cagle would state,

Well, folks, I would like to thank PACO, KirkPA, and vpone for memories that will last longer than the actually finds. Dudes, let's keep the passion high, and keep swinging with the extreme fever.

P.S. All relics were found with an outdated, analog-style White's XL Pro that came off of the production line about 15 years ago

P.S. Numba 2. For those of you folks who don't know who John Walter is, here it is http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,118730.0.html.

Update: Folks, I will probably end the metal detecting year with 12 coppas.

Awesome stuff Zoy. Your 2007 research success has inspired me to put much more effort into my offseason research. I'm still learning as I go and your tips have been helpful. Here's to 2008 being better than 2007........for all of us. Good luck next year folks. ;)
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

You had a great 2007 year, Kyle, in true John Walter fashion!!

Kirk is always telling me how great your ra'search skills are...with those skills, you will have many years of fantastic finds in your area.

You've kept the passion very high this year, buddy!!

Seasons Greetings,

I've never even found a large cent! You have some great finds there.
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Zoy, you make me proud to be your brother. :-* :'( :D You are definitely one of the best researchers I know. It has been great pleasure finding coppas and also seeing you find a lot, too, this year. :D I know 2008 is going to be a dandy.

I think we made John Walter proud! :D ;D

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

You and Kirk kicked some butt in 07...Can't wait to read/see your 2008 Digs! Well done!
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Thanks for the recap post Kyle.
Incredible year for you. Congrats. I think Captn Dan is in a league of his own on silver finds, so there may be no catching up with that wild man unless you dig up a cache. ;D
Thanks for that John Walter's info. I was wondering who you guys were talking about. ;)
Have a great holiday.

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Congrats on a fantastic year. I think your William III was one of the best coins found on here. Your research certainly paid off for you and your friends .
Hope 2008 is even better for you.
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Ah yes I remember John Walter ...the young Jedi apprentice I taught the ways of the detectin force to !! He was a good pupil untill the dark side came along...LOL

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

As I just wrote Kirk...........You guys have some awesome finds. Enough to fill my eyes with awe!!!! I envy you guys and the part of the world you live in. Someday I'd love to come up that way and hunt some. Never know, maybe sometime in the future. I love looking at the items that you post. Such history!!!!! Keep posting those hard too find items for all of us to salivate over!!!! Great year you had. Congrats. I look forward to seeing next years haul!!!!!!!!!

HH,

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Kyle, the rewards of good research makes your finds even better. Without a doubt 2007 was a great year for you all and I wish you the best in your research this winter and hope the results in 2008 will show the fruits of your research.

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Nice finds ZB, but I am not ready to call it quits yet for the year!
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Zoy, I look forward to many more research projects for 2008.

BDD...Kirk
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Thanks, my dudes and dudettes, for your heart-warming and cordial remarks towards my 2007 A.D. recap. :D I have just finished rasearching a great Colonial site (1777-1820) that should yield some great relics and coppas if we receive an invitation to hunt. :D

<www.bonedrydetecting.com> is coming soon, folks.
 

Re: Zoyboy's 2007 Recap

Some really nice coppas in there.

Those make up for about 600 silver coins. I'd take colonial finds over common silver any day.

Congrats
