Connecticut Copper and SC 3rd Regiment Button

[Bharpring]

Targets were few and far between, but dug these yesterday using the XP Deus HF Round coil in an area that I had hunted a few years ago with the LF Coil. I went over this area twice, the first time using a 3 Tone program with Reactivity 4 (Frequency 26kHz) and the second time using the Pitch program with Reactivity 3 (Frequency 26 kHz). Dug the small buttons and the Rev War SC 3rd Regiment with the 3 Tone program. It was only about 4" deep and very faint signal in heavy iron- VDI was showing around a 45. The SC 3rd button is in bad shape, but there is a faint raised "3" in the middle. I actually dug one in much better shape a couple of years ago. The Connecticut Copper I dug using the Pitch program. It was a very iffy signal and only rang up 87 at about 7" or 8" deep. VDI was very low for deep copper, but it was in heavy iron so all bets are off with conductivity- just dig it all. I'm still trying to find out what variety of Connecticut Copper this is? Not many of these are dug in Savannah.





Here is what the Connecticut Copper looked like before cleaning

1787 Miller 7 Hercules Head and a real beauty at that! Congrats on a fantastic state copper! It’s not easy to find them in that sort of condition. I love that big long distinctive head! He had my nose lol

My apologies! I’m prob wrong. Anybody name colonialct likely knows better than me. They are very very close. Here’s a pic of the 7 from my book. I don’t have the 5.3. But I would def listen to colonialct on this one. He has for sure seen a lot more than I have

Ok I just found it. The mouth looks better on the 86

Thank you for the help. I think the Miller 5.3 is the closest match. Its amazing how many different varieties there are.

That is the same variety as my avatar - The obverse is the same for the Miller 5.3 and 7 but the reverse is different. Yours like mine has the N reverse.
