Finally! Plus Barbers, Indians and CT copper

[doninbrewster]

I finally found a two cent piece that wasn't dated 1864. I've found 6 1864 two cent pieces so far this year. Not that I don't like finding any 2 cent piece as they're on a lot of peoples bucket list, but it was nice to find a different date for a change, 1865. Not quite finished cleaning it yet. I was checking out the woods with DigginDude and pulled it. Went out to a town square with Jimzilla with and pulled a 1788 CT M.9-E copper. Pretty toasted, but attributable. I love finding colonials, even when toasted if they can be attributed by variety. We were also on our way to a spot in the woods when we noticed a sign, "furniture for sale". Looked like an old house so we drove in and asked permission. Owner said yes and I pulled the two Barber quarters and the Merc. Last but not least, we hit a favorite park yesterday and I pulled the 3 Barber dimes and 5 Indians. Jimzilla kicked my butt with his finds, but I wasn't disappointed. Also pulled a nice button and rosette that looks like it has an initial from the woods. Also pulled a semi key 1870 Indian in great condition and a Canadian penny. Can't complain over what I found in the last week. A number of these finds are bucket list items for many detectorists. Sorry to post so much, but I haven't posted for more than 10 days.

Lots of good hunts there for sure. Wish I could just go into a yard and pull some Barber quarters

Great finds Don!! Hard to call favorites but, the two cent piece is incredible condition, love the Canadian LC, Silver barbers are always awesome, the key date 1870 Indianhead is immaculate, but I really love that Connecticut copper! Great mix of finds, I was glad that I shared some of those moments with you. HH

Congrats. A nice mix of old coins there. Really like that 2 cent piece. I have found 5 over the years, one of my favorites.

 

[JeffInMass]

Absolutely amazing finds! Congrats on the non-1864 2-center, but even bigger congrats on that 1870 Indian! That baby looks like it was dropped yesterday- worth a decent amount also!

Sweet collection of finds. That assortment of coins would make make for a happy month of detecting for me. The Connecticut copper has a significant pattern of deterioration around the rim. Is that unusual for that coin, or for your area? Congrats on getting enough detail to attribute a variety.

Looks like you 2 had a great time, especially if he kicked your butt. You pulled some amazing keepers, I'd love to see what he pulled.

Don - Great finds! I'm drooling over the sub plate..was a submariner in the Navy for 24 years. The coins are great too, but that sub plate is killer...Brad

Colonials, in particular CT coppers come up in all sorts of condition. Most are corroded all the way across. This piece is very thin, but not unheard of in colonials. Really thin and thick ones do turn up. Here's a few from my own collection. What's interesting is the 2 NJ's that are really different in weight although the same variety.

What a nice hunt, you got some of each.
Love that "greenie' 2 cent piece, that's nice patina.
Looks like you saved the CT in time.
Heck all of those coppers are pretty nice for dug.
