One more copper for 2008

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

The nephews and I got out today for our final hunt of 2008. I dont like to finish the year on an odd number so I am happy that I found my 34th copper for the year. We returned to one of our favorite detecting spots and decided to hit the field that had harvested oats. It was a sloppy,muddy mess. SQUISH SQUIRT were the sounds for the day. Good thing I wore the waterproof boots. Many dropped and shot musketballs had by all. I also found this King George III Halfpence. It had more detail on it in the field but is beginning to flake and deteriorate. There used to be the Georgivus and the leaves around his head but POOF now they are gone. Oh well I can still make it out enough to identify.There is nothing like a 1700s coin to round out the year. Thanks to everyone who read my posts for this year and by all means " HAPPY NEW YEAR"...........CHRIS

Thanks Rob......Did you and Kev get out today and was the hunt fruitful? I have always been lucky when it comes to metal detecting. I'm not quite ready to say i'm the best at anything but I am happy most times when I'm done for the day. It's great to hear from you man and tell Kim and the girls that Chris said HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Nice digs brother. Congrats on rescuing one more coppa' to add to your impressive total this year. I got to spend the last 4 days with my daughter who came home from college...and my Dad. Christmas was definately not the same....but I've only gotten to see my daughter 4 times in the last year...and one of those times was at Mom's funeral...so getting to spend 4 days with her over Christmas break was wonderful. Take care Chris.

Thanks Bryce.....It seems that we both had an amazing year and the prospects for another one remains high. Good to see you had some quality time with your daughter and dad. Even though your detecting year was fabulous your personal life wasn't so. I hope this coming year makes up for it in a big way my friend.
