Yesterday and last couple week's finds: silver and coppers and a new member

[cheffer]

I haven't had much time to post, yesterday we went back out to our colonial era woods in search of oldness. What a beautiful morning to hunt, cool and no bugs.




Not long after arriving I found another CT copper, under a mass of roots. I must've spent 20 minutes extracting this copper.



Also found another completely toasted copper, no way of identifying unfortunately.

From previous hunts in the last couple weeks, a KG



Last week found three LC and a Half Cent



The Largies are pretty crusty, but careful went to work on one that seemed to have potential.



Cleaned up pretty nice:



Fourth Seated Dime this season



Then number five, plus a reale



Also, Mike (Secondstar) and I finally got Joe to join TreasureNet, hopefully he'll post something! His handle is ACOJoe, keep an eye out for some of his finds.

Enjoy the rest of the season,
Steve

Slow, careful picking with a toothpick and soft brush. It actually wanted to come off, you know how sometimes the layer of corrosion is kind of flaky? Reverse cleaned up nicely as well...

Man the LC's I've found around here don't clean up that good! That coin is just gorgeous! That's some awesome cleaning!
