COLONIAL HOME *COPPER & SOME KEEPERS

had the afternoon off and decided to head back up to the red colonial up the street for 5 hours. the ground was very dry like powdery dusty dry.but signals were jumpin right out.i think these signals shone through cuz the iron is dry is my only explanation.you'd swear i never hit this yard before
anyways the rock with name etched in stone is a stepping stone next to the hitching post. used to get down off horses and buggy's. quite a few wheaties,a crotal bell,a wiped out large copper(matron head on left is for comparison) never seen a wiped out copper with a good rim on it.
one clay marble,a large swirly marble,a brass victorian ? era ring & a gold gilted floral one piece button Benedict & Burnham backmark. a holed penny sized store card or gaming token? can make out a few letters but pretty wiped out. and a lot of junk dug as well

Who's been firing high caliber blanks on the site? Does it get military helicopter fly-overs?

I would bet they are M-60 blanks from the National Guard. I fired alot of them back in the late 70's.

Dave, do you have a picture of the wiped copper with a rim after it's been cleaned? That would be
great if you found a blank planchet copper. That might be worth some moola.
