- Equinox 800, 11" & 15" coils
- Primary Interest:
- Metal Detecting
Hello All,
The dudes (kirkpa, zoy & paco) weren't around to metal detect today but were nice enough to let me detect the coronet field with my 16" coil. They have gotten 14 coppers (and a bust half dime !) from this field already but felt they had worked it pretty hard and that maybe that was all there was or if there were more coins, they were deep ...
so i tried my 16" coil (I call it my steering wheel) for about a half hour today
i found a couple small buttons at 7 & 8 inches, a dropped musketball and then got a perfect reading of 00 27 on the SE but it was faint, so i could tell it was deep, but it definately repeated so i dug it
at 10 inches down i uncovered this coin, when i saw it in the hole i yelled out "copper" but no one was there to high five (kinda sucked)
i went home quick and called paco, who sped right over to see it, after looking at sizes and pics of different coins, we think it's a connecticut but aren't sure, i included a picture of the details that come up when you put a flashlight to the side of it
front : you can clearly make out a bust that reaches the top of the coin, and a long skinny neck, there are also two letters visible
to the right of the bust
back: you can see a line at the bottom and part of the lady sitting there, i thought i could almost see the 7 in the date, but i think my eyes were playing tricks on me
any help is appreciated.
this is my first copper this old and special thanks have to go to kirk, zoy and paco for letting me hit the field with my big coil
