Last Saturday began by Chris and I going to Kippy's (Skip's) to pick up a treadmill that Chris bought off of him. Chris and I hauled it down the steep steps with ease! Next stop after that was Skump's, a favorite sub shop hangout for the members of KKC for years. Kippy bought us our subs! :headbang: I ate mine in about five minutes. I'm a man, so I eat like one. :laughing9:

After that, Zeus and I turned up the tunes and headed to our next destination: a Colonial farm in PA where we were seeking to obtain permission to hunt the hay field/pasture area. After receiving the "A-OK," we headed off back to our respective dwellings with hopes of digging some earlies the next day.

Prior to walking into Zeus' dwelling before we left, I took a snapshot of the "stuff" in my car that you would see on a hot day on the PA frontier!

We got to the site and eventually started popping some buttons. That is when the landowner came over and chatted with us in the field. I told him the history of his land and asked him about some nearby fields. He said that he owned them. That is when I grinned, because I knew there are at least three more vanished dwellings on his land. We will probably find unwritten dwellings as well, so the future is looking bright for us. Here is a picture of the site we hunted yesterday.

After the owner left, he turned off the electric fence that was near the field. About five minutes later, I got a deep sounding "P" on "Penny" reading on my analog. I looked over to Kirk and said, "I have a deep half real signal here!" After digging down about six inches, I saw a sight that I live for: a large copper disc just fell from its resting place back to the bottom of the plug. And, guess what, I had the joy of looking for it...again! :laughing9: It turned out to be a smooth Colonial copper! It is porous in some areas, so it is definitely a counterfeit. Here it is right after I dug it.

Long story short, we will head back after he cuts the soybean in the adjacent field. That is where the dwelling sat. We were just hunting the fringes of it yesterday.

Here are my finds from the hunt.

Awesome post and awesome finds from the PA frontier. I dug a flat button right near where you dug the copper. This site should produce some nice coppers still. It overlooks a valley and the dwelling stood on the nice alluvial plain. The dot was correct. :headbang:

I didn't know Chris bought Kippy's treadmill. Utt. :laughing7:

Kirk must have tried out that treadmill and forgot to get off! ;D


Double slam sucka! :laughing7:

Just used the Treadclimber and it works great. I plan on getting cardio on a regular basis. Rose even used it with positive remarks. Nice addition to the Zeus household. We went into this site with no clue that we would even get permission and with the enthusiastic attitude of the landowner we can now hold great expectations on the future of this site. Not a bad over all day even if Kirk didn't find a copper. Next time will be different for him . He has a history of breaking out with gusto. I still love the history of Pa.

It has been a year ago today that I broke out with "gusto." I dug my 1786 2 Reales on 6/28/09. :headbang: Eat that one, IP! :laughing7:

His last copper was in April, so it has been months. :laughing9: However, I am not going to be grinning too long, because, as you stated a few weeks back, "Punks like this build it up and then find something killer."

I didn't realize it's been that long.... something isn't right for any one of you 3 to go that long without copper... I hope he finds one next week or sooner which ever hunt comes first....
 
Great finds. Congrats on the copper. Looks promising for this fall.

Looks like you guys have a bunch of good ground to be digging. There has to be some more Coppers there.
