Colonial Magnifying Glass!!!

Colonial Zoyboy · Aug 31, 2008

Hey, folks, Colonial Silver Zeus, Colonial KirkPA, and I got out to a new site today. :thumbsup:

As Colonial KirkPA already mentioned, it took us about 1.5-2 hours of John Walter-like swinging prior to receiving anything that pertained to the Colonial era (e.g., iron trash, butt-ins, coppas, Spanish wilver, non-glazed pottery). :thumbsup:

Well, during that 1.5-2 hours of sweeping, I heard Colonial Silver Zeus cussing like 6 drunken sailors.

I asked, "What's wrong, you looney?"

He stated, "My f%*^%$# pinpointer is uttting suuuuuuper bad."

Well, folks, about 5 minutes later, I heard a 210-pound, linebacker-sized lunker say, "You son of a b&^%% take this."

Folks, the Colonial-seeking lunker ran full speed and threw his Vibraprobe pinpointer at a nearby tree.

Let me just say that he later snapped the darn thing into two halves soon after.

Well, folks, after Colonial KirkPA and Colonial Silver Zeus were yelping out their Colonial artifacts, I got a nice "P" on "Penny" reading on my White's XL Pro 6000. I dug out a square nail and, in the same exact hole, I excavated this AWESOME Colonial magnifying glass. :icon_sunny:

A square nail in the same exact hole with a Colonial artifact...that's about the 10th time that has happened.

Folks, the glass is still in it, and it was found in the same area where the coppas were found. :icon_sunny:

This happy gibbon and the other datectateers are going baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack next Sundy (Sunday). :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking, fellow metal datecting enthusiasts!

Awesome artifact Kyle. And just yesterday I found myself thinking.....I wonder what a colonial magnifying glass looks like. Now I know.

Sounds like a great site. :thumbsup:

Kyle,
Now THAT is a strange find.

Very cool. I wonder if they burned Colonial ants with that thing? :icon_scratch:

Great hunt today Guys. Kyle's find adds a touch of class glass to the whole day. :tongue3:

At least now you can get a good look at THEIR Colonial finds.

..and maybe help find all the broken pieces of that pinpointer.

Colonial KirkPA · Aug 31, 2008

Snicket,

That relic is top-notch in most Colonial standards! I remember you digging it up...you dug like a pro, bro!

Just think if you would have been careless in your excavation...YIKES! :wink:

We must hit this spot with our usual Colonial passion! 8) We must!!! :icon_sunny:

Snicket the Snickety Snickster, you are on top of your game with that digging technique...that is about it. :tongue3:

What would have been ironic is if you found a coin in the same hole.....a coin with a date you were unable to decipher....without a magnifying glass.

Thanks, Rob Dude, for the reply.

When I first excavated the buggard, I said, "COLONIAL MAGNIFYING...COLONIAL MAGNIFYING GLASS!!!!"

It is definitely one of the most unique Colonial artifacts that I've ever yanked out of the ground.

Doug Dude, I wonder if the Colonial dude thought, "Hmmm...I must have misplaced my Colonial magnifying glass."

I hope you excavate a belt plate or rare button at that Civil War site of yours. :thumbsup:

A Colonial Magnifying Glass!! :happy1:

Kyle, that's the first one I've ever seen found by a datectorist...and it's intact! Great excavation, my friend!! :thumbsup:

Now go find some of those Ooold Colonial Coppas and Wilvers....I want to see a pic of you examining an Old Colonial relic with your Colonial Magnifier!!!

Keep The Passion High, my friend from PA! :thumbsup:

Thanks, Relic Feller Dude, for the reply.

We'll be heading back to it next Sunday.

You and your buddy have a kick arse site. That 60th button is simply AMAZING!

The little buggard works great still.

I put it up to Colonial KirkPA's coppa and it looked super.

That pinpointer story is a classic.

Now, get back out there and dig us another military butt-in...in PERFECT shape! :thumbsup:

"Hey Snicky Wicky" (spoken like Brian) OOOOF. That's one hell of a relic my boy(I would have said man but you have a way to go there) OOOOF. What a day had by all and this place wasn't at the top of our list. A truelly awesome fall is ahead of us.That magnifying glass will help you in many ways in this hobby. Or at least we can use it on a sunny day to light a celebratory cigar if we forget our matches or lighter. That is a very unique find in anyones book. I would rather find that than the half cent since I found 11 draped bust in a year and a half. If you remember I even found an identicle dated half cent. We are on a colonial roll my boy.

In your metal datecting eyes, I will always be an uttster.

In your metal datecting eyes, Boot Mudbone will always be a super max.

In your metal datecting eyes, I will always be a professional. OOOOOOOOOF

Dan the Man, thanks for responding, buddy.

I still couldn't believe that it was fully intact. It was 5 inches deep, so I am glad that I didn't "deck it" and shatter the glass.

My goal is to dig twice as many coppas as the other two uttsters next week.

My good friend from SoCal, I can just see your streak continuing well into next year. You are a great hunter, buddy! :thumbsup:

Schnitzie Witzie (spoken like Brian),

I am suuuuuper satisfied with this find today, you looney oyster.

I am just suuuuuuper glad that I didn't shatter the glass while excavating the historic relic.

Yup, I see another KILLER fall coming. I see more of those historic coppas in the near metal datecting future.

Heck, you are the Draped Bust king. Anyone who finds 11 or 12 of those buggards in 1.5 years has to be.
