Hey, guys, just like my good bud Captn_SE always says, I must admit, there have been some great finds being made on Tnet lately. Keep it up, dudes!
Today, the "Three Datectateers" got out to a new site that Colonial Zoyboy had researched. Before I relate the story of the day, Colonial Silver Zeus had secured permission to hunt the site the day before, so we all arrived today and introduced ourselves. Our hunt started off kind of slow, since we still had to locate the site EXACTLY!
So, for about 2 hours, I really had nothing to show for, but you all know, that is my style, baby! John Walter style!!!
After our break and a 30 minute chat with the landowner...we "Shoot the S***" for awhile about our hobby and related some treasure hunting tales...heck, we even brought up our idol, John Walter! LMAO I bet you all know who brought him up...Colonial Zoyboy, we got back to the hunt. Yup, after another 45 minutes, I soon yelled out, "Button!" (it was dug at a depth of 7" in suuuuper dry dirt...NO MAX ) Then, that was when it all fell into place...the iron patch was at our coils! Iron Patch, gotta love ya', man! I will purchase a pair of flip-flops in honor of you, man!
I was soon welcomed with a nice "E" on "Dime" hit that pinpointed at 5". Yup, yup, after standing up and sweeping the dug out Colonial dirt, I soon heard the super loud hit...it was in the dirt and still reading "E" on "Dime." I knew it was a coppa! Yup, it turned out to be a greenie in the soil...a nice 1775 King George III coppa! 
As you can see, some Colonial dude was bored and punched two holes in George's jib. 
The coin turned out to be in nice condition due to the fact that we were hitting a grass field. This recovery got my Colonial blood a pumpin' , so I kept focusing on my signals.
About 10 feet from the coppa, I got another nice Colonial reading. This part of a shoe buckle popped out of the plug...check out the ornate design on it! This is, by far, my best-looking shoe buckle! Darn, too bad it is broken! 
Oh, before I forget, I also found a 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar and a 1927 Mercury dime. (Not Pictured)
As always, gentlemen, keep the passion high!

If you can make out the fact that its a 1775 there must be a little detail.
