A Productive February Hunt

[Kirk PA]

KKC got out on February 27th (Sunday) to the farm that we have hunted only two times. On two trips, we found some Colonial coppers, Coronet cents, Capped Bust and Seated Liberty silver. We decided to give the farm another try and since the weather was looking good, we had to give it a go. I had a feeling that we would at least get a copper and I was correct.

My first signal of the day was about ten minutes into the hunt and it was a great high reading that pinpointed at the 6" depth. I dug down in the semi-solid dirt and was thrilled to see a green disc on edge. The copper turned out to be an 1837 Coronet large cent. After digging the coin, I could not get another decent signal all day. My last relic for the hunt was the musketball. All in all, I was happy to get a copper on a February hunt in PA.

Kyle had a great hunt with two 1850s small silvers and a copper. He will post his coins and relics in the near future.

Keep the passion high!

You're started and that's what counts! Since I started detecting I don't recall a year there being this much snow at the start of March so it will be a while yet.

I like to see big green in a hole too, each one is like a mini lottery.

Too much snow here yet, but soon.
