I ended up going out with Btv digger on Sunday in the welcomed vermont heat. He has already posted but I will recap. We ended up driving around quite a bit in the morning looking at our permissions to find a field that had been cut and hit a few fields with very meager results. In the afternoon we were pretty much at our wits end and were looking at the map and decided to drive a little out of our way to hit a field on one of my permissions that I had not hit yet. When we got there the field was freshly mowed. We started out in our initial line and minutes into it Btv pulled a copper alright good sign. Then soon after he pulled another. We then pounded the area for about an hour and a half with nothing but two buttons. We decided to give it twenty more minutes. I ended up walking into an area we already pounded (but lots of iron) and got a perfect 84 on the at pro, and got maturing in great shape. In then did a circle around it and got another perfect mid eighties signal. And pulled my best Connecticut at an inch down. I could not have been happier with the day but five minutes later I got a clear fifties signal and decided to dig it to see if it was a button and I pulled my first half dime and it looks like it was just dropped. Here they are enjoy them As much as I did.

I would like to see some close-ups of the half-dime if you have time. Old, rare, and beautiful. I doubt if there's a half dime in the ground within 200 mi. of my house. You easterners have got it! Gary

Wow congrats on it all. That CT copper is really super nice and that half dime is outstanding. And don't forget the Barber half. Big silver! Awesome. Also should add that you can probably figure out exactly which CT copper that is as it has a ton of detail. That's a great find!

Another enjoyable day friend. There seems to be a trend in that we get hot at the end of the day on these hunts! Can't wait 'til the hay is cut on some of these other fields. Know there's more sickness out there just waiting for us!
