Steve and I got out to the copper field site I hunted alot last year. We started the hunt in an area that had produced alot of iron hits last year. I knew it was a former homesite. This is the same area where i found the 1864 2 cent piece last week. If you look at this picture carefully you can see Steve way over in the corner of the field (In the red circle)
About 20 minutes into the hunt I got a semi-solid hit that was wavering from the 60's to the 70's in the VDI range. The reason i say semi-solid hit is because although the VDI number wasn't steady, the tone was solid, not broken like an iron signal would be. It pinpointed at 4 1/2 inches. I turned over some dirt and sifted it and saw a copper disc. Yeah baby!!
My fifth large copper of the year. It's an 1845 braided hair large cent. Unfortunately it is holed :P This is the third braided hair large cent I've found and the years are consecutive, 1845, 1846, 1847.
Did everybody see my "ghetto" home depot treasure apron in the picture?
I only use the best equipment. I also dug a harmonica reed in this area. Then we relocated to another field nearby. Here is a picture of the field. We didn't find much here on this trip although i have recovered some nice artifacts in this field.
We moved again to another plowed area and i recovered a nice colonial button. It has a nice design on the front. Most buttons this size that I've found don't have designs on the front so I was pleased with this one.
Not many targets dug today. Kind of slow. I knew when I dug the large copper 20 minutes into my day that the 1 coin jinx might hit me. I was right. Oh well.
At least i got one.
I found this Ball mason jar on one of my last hunts. It was intact so i picked it up and noticed a date on it. July 14 1908. Is this how old the jar is or does the date signify something else?
All relics found on private property with owners full permisssion.

Love the apron too. I wear a laced apron from Victoria's Secret when I hunt. Pink of course.
