Two Coppers , Two Buttons , Two Spoon parts

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

CKK got out to yet another new site. Another Rev war vets homesite. When I secured permission with the landowner we negotiated an agreement that stipulated that he gets all 1900 and newer coins and CKK would get to gleen everything 1899 and older. GOOD DEAL. It was drizzling all day so needless to say we were wet and muddy out in the colonial fields of hay and alfalfa. We put plastic bags over our machines. The landowner was a jovial man and laughed and joked with us for the first 20 mins or so. Soon after he went back in the house I got the quarter sized Tomback button with complete shank. Some pewter spoon parts later then I got a perfect 83 vdi with my Vision telling me it was coin sized visually and audioally.Not only that but the low frequency green bar was longer than the middle red one and the blue high one. That tells me COPPER. 3 and a half inches of dirt and rock and out comes a beautiful green disk which turned out to be the 1829 Coronet. Soon after that and a nice concave copper button with shank was freed from the dirt. I rounded out the hunt with a steady signal with a slight crackle which turned out to be the KG II in the hole with 3 square nails. We hunted for 2 hours before it started to rain in earnest. After providing the landowner with the printed research we told him we will be back next week to hopefully find him a nice 1900 and above silver coin or to fill our recovery pouches with many colonial and early American Relics.

Very nice !

CCZ, it seems to me that a lot of the holed coins that are found seem to have the holes randomly placed. You would think they would hole it just above the head if they were going to wear it as a necklace or something. Any thoughts on the hole placements? I'm just curious.

Great looking coppers, and buttons. Sounds like you have a good deal worked out with that land owner!

Well done Chris. Congrats on the finds. Looks like you guys got the better of the deal.
I remember Kirk used to toss his wheats away. They would have come in handy now to give to the property owner.
That site looks like another good one for you guys.

CCZ,

Nice going on the coppers. Too bad about the hole. It would have been an awesome coin if it didn't have one.

You can really see how kind old homes are to the coppers compared to your farm finds.

Thanks for giving the details on the signagraph readings as well. It is very helpful for me, as well as others who are new to the V3.

Also thanks for the encouraging words on the V3 in your PM.

Happy Hunting,
Neil

Thanks for the interest. It is my opinion that these people would put holes in their coins so they could run a string through them so they wouldn't lose them. Whether they then wore them as a necklace or something i'm not positive.

From what I have read, people used to sew the coins into their coats.
