Got a nice copper today.

[Brian C.]

I went back to the site where I found the snake hook, last night they got three inches of snow in the area, we never got any, it was quite cold but I was dressed for it. I found the three coins today and the buckle. When I pulled out the Connecticut, I knew it was old, the 1787 was a good clue, it is the second one In 14 years. I have heard of others being found here in Canada, but I think they are not a common find. The silver quarter was just laying on top of the ground under the snow as was the 1916. I will be going back some time, I wish they would plow the field.

Wow ! That's a great day out - those finds will warm you right up (along with an adult beverage perhaps)

Today was freezing where I was today. The ground was frozen in some areas. It was only 27° today. Anyways, I'm sad because the photos in your post won't show up on my mobile app, but I hope to view them in my computer when I get home.

Your site is crying to be detected again, just look how good the condition is without a plough roughing up those nice coins and no fertilizer corroding them badly, sometimes its your friend,but not every time
dig every peep your machine makes

you'll hear this a thousand times, but wow that Conn copper is in the best dug shape I've ever seen…I've dug 2 here in Canada and they don't look like that ..congrats

[Old Dude]

You don't often see silver being the ugly duckling like that. Beautiful coppers.

 

[Iron Patch]

Keep your fingers crossed that you have a really rare one, and hit the daily double of rarity and condition! It's hard to do, but you are half way there.


Connecticut Coppers
