I've learned in my dirt fishing experience to dig all solid signals . I once had a 2 oz silver bracelet ring up as a pulltab!
 

Damn bro I wish you could get a date off those. Fair chance you just destroyed your oldest coin record by a lot. Possibly just found your first 1600s coin. I would hunt the hell out of that spot. Then buy a GPX and hunt it again. Then sift it. Then....well you get the idea lol. Great finds bud
 

Very nice!! I need to find a few coppers like that.
 

Agreed, 1 Will III.
 

Congratualtions on the old coppers! :occasion14:
