🥇 BANNER Colonial large copper hoard

[Tony12100]

So yesterday afternoon was by far the best day of digging ive ever had. As I was leaving another site and to get out of the rain I decided to drive some south jersey back roads. I noticed a difference in a patch of forest so I stopped and prospected. Sttaight out of gate I was in a high iron patch and dug a flat button. Then the 12 43s started. First was a 1794 liberty cap quickly followed by a 1800 draped bust one cent. I lost track of which ones came after that but a total of 8 large coppers and one 1 reale was unearthed. Also dug were 7 or 8 flat buttons, buckle, iron relic and earlier in the day an 1903 barber dime. I attached a few after electrolysis pics . Sorry some pics are sideways. The total was 4 1800 draped ,1 1797 draped, 1 1798 draped, 2 1794 liberty cap. 1 one reale, and other relics and buttons. What a day!

Ive played that professional cleaning game before...ive sent coins to be cleaned only to be told cant be cleaned because there dug. Ive have uncleaned coins graded with horrible gradings. Electrolysis makes them look great while increasing the grade. I know what coins get electrolysis and which ones don't. Besides i have no intentions of selling them. Thank you so much for all the nice words on these coins. I dug two more today at the same site

Killin' it, Tony12100!
