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.
