King George Copper

Kirk PA · Apr 9, 2011

We got out for a relic hunt today instead of going tomorrow. Kyle made plans to attend a church service with his new girlfriend. :dontknow:

He told me numerous times, "She is a great woman, Buck." :laughing7:

We arrived at many farms today, but a number of them no one was home. :dontknow:

The one and only site we secured permission for was a total bust. :dontknow:

There were iron signals, but nothing Colonial popped. :dontknow:

The site we secured permission for was next to the field that produced my Capped Bust half dime in December, so I decided to hunt that area again. :dontknow:

I was swinging my coil in an area that had some iron and I picked up a nice reading. I was happy to dig a green copper. :hello2:

It is identified as a King George III. :hello2:

I can clearly see the bust of King George facing right. :icon_thumleft:

My Colonial passion was satisfied for the hunt.

Keep the passion high! :icon_salut:

Sounds like you could almost smell the skunk, but you managed to smell the colonial cologne of old King George instead :thumbsup:

NICE

It's tough to keep your mojo when a member of the group isn't out there, but hey you still got a KGIII.. I swear every time Josh and I went on solo hunts last year we were skunked. :laughing7:

A solo KGIII copper is a successful hunt anytime in my books! Congrats Kirk.
