Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

Friday evening I was talking with Mach 1 on the phone trying to decide on a place to hunt Saturday Morning. Our options were limited due to permission for sites and dry weather. We thought we would meet up at a place we had detected before and if we were Lucky maybe get permission to hunt and adjoining property where we had heard there was a "Motel" With help from our hostest at the first property, she got us permission to hunt where the "motel" was. It turns out the Motel was more like an Inn, Wow ! This was probably the most fun I have ever had detecting in a day ! It was so good to have a hunt with Great Friends like this to start with. But to get into an area like this that has never been detected was too much. We'll hit this place again later this fall after a good rain. I took around 28 minutes of video. I had to split it into 3 parts for youtube. Mach 1 will be posting their finds cleaned up below in this post. So you might want to come back and see their stuff cleaned up. His son got an unbelievable Crotal Bell, so sweet ! The Coopers for the most part cleaned with good. Good Friends, Good Finds, Good Memories !

Happy Hunting,
BB

You guys had a killer day loaded down with coppers. Brian is deadly with a detector. What a spot.

That pewter button, did it have a number on it? Could be Rev war.
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt MORE PICTURES ADDED IN THE POST BELOW

First - Thanks to Bob and DeArmitt for the invite! :icon_thumright:

And yeah - what a hunt! That one we will remember for a long time. None of us wanted to quit except for my son who was getting hungry.....oh to be 15 again! ::)

The amazing thing is that all of those coppers (+ DeArmitt's 2 center) were in a area of only about 25 x 25.... :o

The 1737 farthing I did not hit with the peroxide.... am thinking it will be fine as it is... :)

My 1804 Half Cent has a die error above the "TY" in LIBERTY... anyone have a good handle on the variety? It did not compare to any of them on coinfacts.com... :dontknow:

We still have to clean up the bell..... when we do my son can add the picture. :)

I'm still shocked.... it was so much fun to see everyone dig all of those goodies. :hello2:

EDIT: I removed a few photos... adding a few in the next post. :)

Hey all look at the last 8 in 1798 make sure it is not 1798/7 variety on top of the 8 looks like it might be over a 7 ? other wise still a beautiful coin :headbang:

I'm jealous.... :o.... Hopefully I have as much luck at a tavern site I'm zooming in on. Awesome videos guys, I enjoyed watching them.
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

I think that is a Sheldon 152 for the largie, good dig. :headbang:
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

I wish it was a bar copper.... want to see Bob make the banner! ;D

But.. unfortunately I didn't see anything on the other side.... it was as smooth as could be... :'( And there were dots between the bars.... ???

Brian (Mach II) does real well... I'm sure proud of him! It was more fun watching him find those than finding them myself. (and helping him dig them too! ;D )

Now if we could only find more of those spots like you and your nephews seem to find.... :icon_thumright:
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

Fantastic finds for sure :headbang: congrats too all :thumbsup:
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

Awesome hunt guys. I love those spots, copper copper coppers. HH to all Mark
 
Re: Weekend's Hunt with DeArmitt, Mach 1 and Son Coppers !

Wow, Bob, now that is what PA is all about. :headbang: Those coppers faired really well considering they probably never saw fertilizer. Good job on the research and go pound that site some more. PA rocks!
