Yo, what's up, fellow tnet zoysters? Well, as you may or may not know, KirkPA, PACO, and I got out to the coppa farm today.

Well, to make a long metal detecting story short, my detecting day began in these four detecting steps: I yanked my datecta out of the treasure vehicle, stepped into the newly-harvested field, ground balanced with a tough dude-like attitude, and started swinging with zoyboy determination and passion. You dudes all know how much of a zoyboy I can be.

Well, to make another long metal detecting story short, I got a butt-in within the first 15 minutes. Then, about 20 minutos after the butt-in, I got an "A" on "Quarter" hit on my analog meter, which pinpointed at 6" on the 90s-style datecta. After slamming a few foundation stones down, I placed my trusty Vibraprobe pinpointer into the extreme depths and picked up an 1818 large cent. I instantly yelled, "LARGE CENT, LARGE CENT, LARGE CENT." KirkPA and PACO ran 20 yards in 2.21 seconds, raising their relic shovels in the air like Roman soldiers celebrating on the ancient battlefield. We slapped high fives for about 2 minutes, while yelling and hooting like baboonsters in the jungle. Well, to make a third metal detecting story short, I yanked out 3 more butt-ins and a dropped musketball from an ancient dweller.

All in all, it was a relic kind of day on a relic kind of site with many more relics left to be found on this relic-laden farm. After we got back to the treasure vehicles, we continued to talk about metal detecting and how great we can be sometimes or ALL OF THE TIME.

*All relics were found on extreme private property with total consent from the sweet farmer and his sweet wife.

Very nice! You guys have a great site.
 
Zoy, I wondered what the heck you were rubbing at over there. Little did I know that you had recovered a coppa at a super depth.

You make those coppas look easy to find. Heck, our entire group is making them look easy. :) ;) :D :o :D

Keep the fever high, zoy!
 
Nicely done...I found a similar button this past summer!

Hey Zoyster..........nice coppas. You guys are my heroes, you made yer Shamokin master detectorist proud of ya. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you guys.

PS: Do you have any extra "Superdetectorist" T-shirts for me and Jeff to wear at the GPAA Gold and Treasure show? We promise we won't wash them when we give 'em back to ya? And we'll tell everybody we know ya? :-* ..........Richster

LMFAO, Richster! I don't think jeff of pa would want to have his name mentioned in the same sentence with KirkPA's. hahaha ;) :D Just kidding, Jeff and I are good buds now. :)
 
Zoy, I don't think you told the forum how deep she was! I think you stated, "It was frickin' (the better word) 7 inches deep!" :o :D
 
Peroxide will do wonders for that coin...but only use the peroxide before you use any olive oil!

Nice copper. If you need photos of peroxide before and after photos, DonSJ or I can provide them for you.

We were wondering, how old is that button with the eagle on it?

I believe 1800-1830, but maybe closer to 1830, ballpark figures, not 1700's though
