Most of a Trigger guard, Cartwheel, and neat Conder, to end the Copper Trail

Iron Patch · Dec 19, 2015

Had my last hunt with Ironhorse today, so will be the Spring of 2016 before we're back at it. Nothing special but I was damn happy to get another shot, and hit some little fields I figured would have to wait until April. If the temps stay mild and my area opens up again by Christmas I'll have to take a walk, and I'm hopeful, but we'll see how it goes. The conder halfpenny is from Rochdale, Lancashire, and is my keeper for the day. (I like things I've not found before)

Glad you managed a few keepers for your efforts....the coins are neat but liking the trigger guard.

Nice coins!
Yep, very nice to see another coin that we've never dug before!

Hope you get an 8 reales for Christmas; you'll have to unwrap it yourself from the dirt! Lol

It's too bad we didn't get any button love today bahahahaha!

That Cartwheel is a sweet find for sure..
Not good enough for the pole bunny but this will do..

Merry Christmas IP..After all he is from your neck of the woods

I keep forgetting just how big those cartwheels are, but when you don't see them very often I guess it is understandable. Not a bad way to end the year at all.

What are the chances you dig a R token, I check mine and see the hanging fleece and say.... yeah it's what i have to... and it ends up being a conder with a similar design! The strange things that happen on the no button love copper trail.

I can see why you would have though Rutherford (was my though looking at the first pic.) with the sheep.
Cartwheel pretty good.
Must have been cool in Dirtyville today.

That's a more than decent way to end the year...but I suspect our season is far from over...record El Nino coming our way!

When I dug it the detail was tough to see, and then IH digs a Rutherford and I say I bet that's what I have too. So I look, see the design and say yep! But it was obviously a nope!
