What a year!! Colonial photo-rama highlighting my season's recoveries.

I already posted a summary of how my season went so I'll be brief here and just let you check out the pics. The biggest surprises for me when putting these photos together were the surprising number of coppers dug, which is quite unusual for around here, plus the large quantity of early buckles that seemed to show up. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted, and now I have next fall to look forward to. Good luck to all those that can still get out.

Bill i do not have words for the history you saved right there man

That Cob is screaming out in those pics..

Just thinking about what was going on and how it was lost can really make us ponder..

Hats off to you Bill for the great photos and of course the recoveries themselves. I really like that early Farthing, most of my 20th C coppers don't look that good.
Best wishes, Herbie.

Thanks Herbie - good to hear from you. Not only was the quantity of coppers surprising, but their condition was unusually good as well. And I don't have an explanation for either.

Great recoveries Bill! I'm thinking about taking a break this summer as well (I say that lol). I appreciate the time you take to post & preserve your finds. There's a lot of history there that will now be saved for future generations. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on another great season Bill. Your posts always keep me going through the cold winter months up here. You found some nice condition coppers which can be tough to do in your neck of the woods - first off, they are not common in your area, and second the soil is usually not kind to them. You may have to build a new warehouse to store all your finds!

Thanks Steve. If you're ever down this way again please stop by. Sorry we couldn't hook up last time.

Very impressive collection for the year....some great looking coppers.

Crazy how many cut silvers you have...I,m still looking for my 1st one !!!!

Fantastic year so far for you ...best of luck for your fall hunt !!!

Thanks Aqua. You've been finding spanish silver lately so I'm sure that site will eventually produce a nice cut piece. Its just a matter of time .....

Thanks Monte, but my season runs from Oct thru Apr so I'm done until the fall when I start things all over again.

Thats a lot of hunting and a lot of finds. Wish I had that much time to devote to the hobby. Maybe someday.
