Two coppers and the batmobile!

[Z.K.]

Tried one of the new big cornfields I've gained permission to recently. Nothing on the old maps to suggest it had a homesite or anything, but it is tucked away and runs near a river that connects a couple of towns founded in the 1760s, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I walked along the circumference and detected for about an hour, finding just a handful of signals (3 of which were cans), was about to give up, then dug up the bat mobile! Well, i figured the day was a wash, but decided to finish a half circle and kept walking the edge...then zing! A solid 12-41 on my new etrac. Out comes a beautiful George II halfpence that ended up cleaning very nicely. Fanning out from there, about 90 min later I found another copper, far more worn *edit: may be a counterfeit KGIII*

I just love the definition on the 1735...my best condition Brit copper yet. Thanks batman!

Anytime you can read the date on a "dug" copper that old it's a good one.

Thanks, Cjon! I'm encouraged, though the size of this field is a little overwhelming. You just never can tell...maybe there's a Spanish silver just waiting to be freed! Of course, could just end up finding a gi joe from the 80s ��

I don't think that is technically a minie, at least nothing like the hundreds I dig.

Looks like a fairly modern .357 swaged lead bullet. Dimensions would help.
