Thanks ModernMiner..... My first COLONIAL COPPER!!!!

[nc-joe]

What an excellent day of detecting with ModernMiner, DD-777 and Mave2535, aka Doug, Big Coppa Andy and Chris. We started out at the colonial house, and man did it live up to it's name! I got my first Colonial Copper, a 1782 Irish Halfpenny with a clipped planchet and slightly rotated reverse!!! My hand were TREMBLING when I pulled out the coin. I thought I finally landed my first large cent, but holy cow it was WAY BETTER THAN THAT!!! I also got the large brass cotter pin at that location.

After that we went to the Civil War house, the remaining pictured finds came from there including the saddle stirrup (may be civil war era, but does not appear to be brass, but iron) a couple "what is it's?" and a really cool tiny bottle lid that appears may be from a salt shaker or something with a very tiny mechanical lever that opens and closes the holes at the top!

I can't tell you how grateful I am to these three for inviting me to hunt with them!

Their not going to invite you back now! nice copper

I invited Mirage last year and he found a Spanish silver half reale.
I invite Joe and he finds a Colonial copper.
What gives?
Oh, I know what it is now. It's the Mighty Minelabs they were using.
Big dogs!

You could always invite me! All I find is iron and ashtrays...
I can offset the the balance.

All I charge is a bag of Jack Link's beef jerky and you're in.
That's three nice coins from this site so far:
*Joe's Colonial
*Bob's (Mirage) 1/2 reale
*My 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime.

All we need now is a gold coin.

JOE! 8) What a find! Great picture of you too!

I'm waiting for MM to hold an official Tnet group hunt up there.

Stunning find! Sounds like you all had a great time!
