Day 2: Sunday provides more Coppers

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

Day 2 was similar for us in the bean field. We had an early start and were swinging mid morning. A beautiful fall day here in Pa. The leaves are at their peak in color and it was very enjoyable to be detecting with the temp no more than 73 degrees. I decided to start very close to a troublesome annoyance. Anyone who has done many farm fields probably can relate. Electric fence. With the rythmic pulse in my headphones it can be difficult to pick out a good signal from the electromagnetic audio throbs. I strive to persevere through it because of the benefit of a virgin area. The farmer did tell us in the past that he could turn it off for us but I don't want to risk the cows making the big break because of us. Anyway 20 minutes into my hunt Bam. A penny dime reading again on the analog proves to be my second KG III for the weekend. A couple of buttons and pewter spoon parts later I found my 180? Draped Bust half cent. That's my third D.B.halfie this year. We are awaiting the farmer to finish harvesting the corn so we can get back in another pre productive field again. He said probably in 2 weeks so we will be doing more research and permission missions this week. Thanks everyone .

Chris,
AMAZING!!! Pretty soon you'll have a whole roll to turn into the bank.
Are those other two gibbons detecting too or just watching you dig them up?
Great finds!

More success... just too bad your coppers come out like mine. Wouldn't it be great to be pulling all these out of good dirt!

I'm amazed at how you guys find those week after week! Do you mind revealing how many colonial coins you've found since you began detecting? Estimating is fine if the number's so high you lost count. (I'm guessing you could wall paper your kitchen with em' by now.)

Nice finds there, the only half cent I've ever found was a lincoln cent cut in two pieces, and the only King George coppers I've ever found were King George V Canadian pennies.

Awesome digs again Chris. You guys are the kings of coppa'...seriously.
The half cent is on my wish list..of course it has been on that same list since I began detecting back in the 70's

Very cool!

Thanks Mojo. I feel the same way. Cool only begins to describe pulling colonials out of the ground week after week.

Thanks Doug...We do have a great time and yes the coins are piling up. I'd bring my camera with us but the pics and vids would be so funny that they would end up being most viewed on Youtube. I'm glad some people can enjoy a good laugh everyonce in a while. It seems to me that more and more people these days are getting ripped off by not inheriting the humor gene. I really feel sorry for them because with all the turmoil going on in this world I feel it helps to have a good laugh everyonce in a while

We only in the last couple of years switched tactics and started pursuing the colonial and early American coins. We figured that since we live in Pa. there is no reason why we shouldnt. I personally have about 40 found in about 25 months. This is a great year and we as a group compliment each other nicely by contributing knowledge,knowhow and amiability to this great hobby. We really do pursue with a true passion. I have many hobbies that I have put on hold due to me latching onto metal detecting with a single minded purpose. This also goes for the other 2 members of the group. Thanks for the interest and H.H.

You are only a state away so if you are patient then you also will see some half cents. Thanks.

Thanks buddy . You find so much sweet silver that you don't even need to find coppers.
Thanks my man.
