The nephews and I started out the new decade the way it should be done. By each one of us going home with a copper. January 2nd was a cold but sunny day. The ground was hard but diggable up to a point. We went back to our last spot of 2010 where Kirk found the Capped half dime and Kyle pulled a KG IIIrd out of the 18th century dirt. I managed a measly Flying Eagle cent. Well maybe not measly but still not exactly what we are after. This was only my 3rd ever so maybe not such a bad day after all. 
This time we were digging in much harder ground. Kirk managed his slug colonial in no time flat. Wasn't long and he was bailing out on Kyle and I. I was popping some buttons and I managed to find a nice Blow hole button from the 1700's. My second one ever. The first one I found last fall. I was the last to find a copper for the day and almost didn't but got a nice 78 VDI, Low frequency predominant target indicating to me a high probability of being a copper. It was this dateless Coronet that was just barely under the surface.Kyle was soon spouting off that he was done , (TRANSLATION)--The football game was calling him. I can remember a time when nothing got in the way of my nephews detecting day,(TRANSLATION)--PASSION SHMASSION. Oh well Sunday was a nice way to start the new year and also the earliest in January to find the first copper. Can't beat that with a stick.
