Forum, :headbang: :hello2: :laughing3: :laughing3:

The 3 self-proclaimed professional detectorists from the group the "3 Datectateers" got as usual on this great Sunday. :headbang: :hello2: :angel11: :icon_thumright: Dudes, as you may already know, we hunt with an extreme passion that has NEVER dwindled! If we ain't detecting, we are thinking about this hobby. When we talk about this hobby, we don't talk like drones...nope, we are suuuuper spastic at it. :laughing3: If some baboon heard us talking, it would definitely know we had some kind of passion within. :laughing3:

Folks, let me tell you, our ANALOGS were juiced up and ready to pillage the doyt of all its worth! Nope, we ain't searching for them "newer" coins, as John Walter would put it. :laughing3: We went searching for COLONIALS! :icon_thumright:

To make a long story suuuuper short, I was sweeping in the area where I dug my 2 coppas yesterday, when I was welcomed with a "TABS" reading. :dontknow: :laughing3: Since this is a Colonial site, I decided to dig! :icon_thumright: :laughing7: After plucking out numerous amounts of historic doyt, the greenie was in the soil!!! :headbang: I was really suprised to have dug this Colonial coppa at this kind of reading. Folks, since the coin is kind of beat up, I tumbled it for 5 minutes and brought out some da-tail. :headbang: :hello: :angel11: It looks like a 1695-1701 William III Halfpenny, but it most likely is a King George III coppa! :icon_thumright: The coin is 6.03 grams and 26.5 mm. in diameter! :laughing7: :sunny: :wink: I am now up to 12 coppas for the year! :headbang: Our group has 38 for the year! :headbang:

To end this story, I will end it now. :laughing3: I can tell you, dudes, we didn't disappoint once again! 9-0, BuckleBoy! :wink: :wink: :wink: :laughing11: :laughing3:

Keep your passion high! :thumbsup:

Rob,

Yup, I think it is, too! You can definitely see the bust, man!

This site is LOADED! :thumbsup: Good luck, man, on your next outing.

How's the back look? Most William III's are smooth as a baby's bottom on the reverse side. :D
 
It's an oldie, I'd lean more towards Geo. III Hibernia.

Thanks, man, we put the effort into it and that is why we are finding this stuff. We are always having people in our area asking us, "How do you do it?" :D

Keep sweeping!

You looney of a datectorist, it was good to see at least one Datectateer find a coppa today. :icon_sunny: :icon_jokercolor: Even though this is not our main field, it still yielded 10 coppas total...9 coppas in just 3 weeks!!! :notworthy: That main site is going to yield some nice coppas and Spanish wilvers again. :walk:

You looney, we must keep posting our Colonial to early American finds with an extreme passion. :occasion13:

The rasearch, the permission, the "finding"...this site is up there with "The Best of Treasurenet" stories!!! :wink:

Let's excavate as many as we can this year...in a realistic fashion, you looney. OOOF :D :laughing3: :laughing11: :laughing9:

Snicket :D
 
In very few trips this year, KKC has excavated 19 coppas and 2 Spanish wilvers at this site. :coffee2: The main site has yielded 8 coins (nothing newer than 1830) in just two small trips. :icon_sunny:

Snicket :D

You did it again, buddy!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You went out to your field with high passion and found what you were after....that's the definition for "Success"!!

Hope you can keep your streak alive next week, my friend from PA!!

Congrats,
