Vermont Landscape Copper + Big Spanish = Speechless!!

[DFW_THer]

We had a thrilling hunt yesterday! I made a couple very nice saves and wanted to share. My finds were recovered using an AT Max, stock coil, zero mode, 00 disc, about 90GB, low 'n slow! Coins were found at depths of about 5-8", tough signals in fairly mineralized and clay-like soil. Freezing and wet all darn day, with nothing but 1700's relics to keep us warm! Late 1700's home site, private property hunted with permission.

The goods:
1.5 tombac buttons. My buddy Kurt found the other half I think--need to match them up. My one complete has a cool scalloped edge pattern.
1 early flat button with big fat shanker.
KG2 Half Penny, barely IDable
1777 2 Reales Mexico City
and my favorite find of the day: a Vermont copper! Landscape variety, (Ryder 6), 1786. Lucky enough to have the details on the reverse to ID it. My first and probably last landscape Vermont haha! The obverse is almost toast, I can see a part of the eye and the rays are 98% toast!

Cheers!
Brad

Really means a lot, thank you. I wish it was a film day because Kurt pulled 5x as many copper as I did, and Billy got lucky in a presidential kind of way. Wish they were all like that...

Sweet copper man That thing held up well and has a nice patina on it. Congrats on that Spanish too.

Not a lot of quantity but some killer quality. Love the Vermont, the 2R, and the engraved tombac

Thanks Steve. Wasn't even the prettiest tombac on the day. Everyone had a pretty nice hunt. 14 coppers came out of a 30x50ft area and we dug everything...

Great hunt, Brad! That Vermont is sweet! Great details on the reverse of the Vermont. That's a bucket lister of bucket lister's man.

Sweet finds. Great 2 reales. Only one year older than my 8 reales! [emoji106][emoji2]

I bet that 2R looked pretty good coming out of the ground! Outstanding!

 

[Silvermonkey]

Excellent finds! That 2 reale is really lovely. Congratulations on a great hunt.

It surely did! It's my second two reales, and each time I'm thinking tree coin when I first see the writing around the edges of the coin... I want a tree on a coin too!! Haha

[Trezurehunter]

Congrats on some great old buttons, and that Spanish silver. I'd stay out in the cold and rain all day for finds like those.

A Vermont Landscape copper is such a rare find that it deserves a BANNER! I'm putting my vote in now.
