Saturday afternoon George II

[Ed-NH]

Hi all,

I went to my favorite tree farm for a quick 2 hour hunt. I started out at a friends house circa 1750 and found some spare change. Then I went to the tree farm for about an hour. I hit the same o'l spot in the garden. The corn was just harvested in that spot. I unearthed a rather nice large button only 2" deep. Then I hit this George II at just over 10" deep. My deepest large copper ever. No date as it is a bit worn but most likely 1730's vintage. I love buttons and copper. This was a super hunt for me. After the past two detecting adventures turned up nothing I was quite pleased with this weekend Here are the pics of the spare change, buttons and copper

Nice coppa. Much better than the King George II I found recently. Can't get a date off mine either. It's slightly crimped where the date is. How strong was the signal at 10 inches?

Congratulations, those are some nice finds.

I can't get over the depth, you had to really work to get that copper.

That's a sign of a good detecting skills if you ask me.

Hi Evolution the signal was that of a deep pewter button. It was sort of crappy and an 'iffy' signal. I dug it because it repeated if I swung the coil over the spot a tiny bit from side to side. I use a little mini-garden spade to dig in this garden area. The shovel itself is about 9" deep. I dug into the dirt and took a scoop out. I scanned the hole and the target was still in there. I took another scoop out and saw the copper in the bottom side of the hole on an angle. It was about 10" deep. The deepest ever for a copper for me. Thanks for asking

Hi Kirk I was wondering if that could have been a 'dandy' I am not sure of the actual dimensions for a dandy button. Any ideas? The one that I found is about 2" in diameter. The largest I've found so far.

That's a dandy alright. 2" is certainly big enough. Excellent KGC (that's King George Copper! LOL). Still waitin for mine. Been too much into CW stuff lately; not enough into the colonial sites...

Cheers,

Hi Ed,

Great finds... I need to start hitting some fields around here - there are tons of them...

Going to pick up a new White's tomorrow - can't wait to try it out...

Nothing wrong with my old one - just want one with depth detection...

Talk soon.
