Got back home for dinner today, Clarion county, Pa. I was early, had about an hour before time to eat, so dad says lets go up to where the old cabin was. Our family farm dates back to the 1820s, over 200 acres, my brother now lives in the original home that was built in 1829 or 1830
Dad was told by grandad that in the 1860s-70s there was an old trappers log cabin which is now the middle of a field. In appx. 30 years of hunting he has found 3 old coppers.
Anyway, we drive up, park the truck, fire up the tectors, less than 5 minutes and 20 feet from my truck I get a hit on something,
sound breaking up, VDI bouncing aroung, pinpoint about 5.5 deep, figure what the heck I will see what it is, out pops an 1840
something large copper, it has a hole right through the last number of the date.
This field has been in use for at least 100 yrs, can`t believe this was never hit by a plow or disc.
OK, I am going to try and post pics, lets see what happens.

those big coppers do bounce the vdi,s back and forth on a DFX try swinging the coil from a different direction and see if the vdi number matches . Good hunt Dd60
