Old Apple Orchard Hunt yields 1787 Vermont copper update

[CMDiamonddawg]

Hi T Net Checked out an old field near the town nearby that was Est. in the 1760's . Two cans of bug spray , an old Fisher CZ , 5 gatorades , and 5 hour random search yielded some exciting finds. First picture ... Hit this picture frame right out of the gate . It is brass and I found all 4 corners intact in the field the picture was long gone of course , but it cleaned up great and it is in amazing condition . 8) Iron square nails led to an iron hook or pot swivel . Shards of china and pottery , oyster shells , brick and stone ... tell tale signs of habitation. Seems like there was more in the field then crops . Found some musketballs , one inch iron ball , some buckles and another fancy rosette . A neighbor of the owner showed up and told me there were apple orchards in the field many years ago . The stone could be native american , I am not sure put it seems too out of place and different than most of the rocks here . Lots of iron ore . Best finds were a 1787 Vermont colonial " Vermon Auctori " Inde Et Lib on reverse , 1787 KG III Hibernia " always a to get one , a superfine backmark flat button , a tombac pewter button , ornate brass picture frame and an old gold ring . Feels good to finally get back out in the fields Thanks for stopping in dawg Have you found a Vermont copper , I would like to get a quick count from T Net finders of Vermont colonial coppers. Curious to see how many Thanks

In the last pic, I have an EXACT copy in design, of that horse conchos, rosette, or saddle ornament. I'll have to dig it out and post it here. NICE COPPERS!!

Re: Old Apple Orchard Hunt yields 1787 coppers

very nice finds
btw, those big iron spikes with the pegs on the ends are for hanging shutters on the outsides of windows. we just ripped a bunch of them from the outside of our house

Re: Old Apple Orchard Hunt yields 1787 coppers

That was well worth it. Not many Vermont coppers posted considering how many people dig old sites on this forum.

Your Hibernia is most likely 1781. 1787 would be a fairly rare counterfeit.

Re: Old Apple Orchard Hunt yields 1787 coppers

Now that looks like a site to dig everything - congrats on those finds!

I'm still looking for a place to get some finds like that. What I have located last week could be close but haven't gotten out there yet. Great finds you got there!!
