New site, 5 different large coppers!

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Got lucky on Sunday… I had a site in mind from the 1862 map deep in the the park woods. Lidar had a corresponding anomaly. Made the trek, found the cellar hole but was obviously too large and lots of more modern 1960’s metal strewn around, probably a mining operation. So expanded the search to where water would have been easily accessible and started to see old brick chunks coming down from a flat spot above a shallow ravine. Immediately started getting good signals and the first copper popped shortly after. Best day out this year!

I would be very excited to make these finds of buttons and coppers! So excited that I think it is banner and have voted so. Very old US cents, hard times token, KG III British halfpenny..... wow! I have found some of these, but usually one at a time in separate locations.

Thx! Penn State has a GIS lidar site for my county in PA.
