So many early American coppers in so little time....

CTTodd and I made it out to an obviously virgin field site this evening. Apparently these farmers had a lot of holes in their pockets.

Research had indicated that there was at least a couple homesteads there at one time and it only took a couple quick swings of the detector to find out that it was going to be a great night. After the first 20 minutes and four early coppers in we paused to contact let Dr. Tones and let him know that we were doing OK by sending him a picture of our finds...

He responded back quickly with the a picture of a couple wheat cents he had just dug or maybe he had just found them in his change, way to go Brandon! (haha just kidding)
Our evening was filled digging draped bust, King George's and a couple of stinkin coronet heads mixed in.

My take was two draped busts one is 1805 can't read the other , a half cent 1809, a 1744 King George, and an unknown coin. I also found four little buttons, and a nice lock.

There was so much action that I ended up recording us both recovering large cents at practically the same time. http://youtu.be/Z5g3mUzkPeU
I like the part in the video where I say I am gently recovering the coin, as I am grunting to dig it out....My darn finger was on the focus so it is a bit fuzzy in a part or two
 
That was a dig to remember. Glad you were there Gary
 
Congratulations to both of you. It looks like a beautiful place to hunt and I can see why someone would want to live there back then.
 
Now when anyone asks why we detect...just show them this post and if they don't get it...they never will! :hot:

Nice to see friends out together...not only were you detecting you were finding! :twodetecting: Congratulations guys well deserved!
 
The great thing about this site is that there was so much stubble that our coils were probably a good four inches from the surface, if we can time it right to get there right after it is cut or early spring we may be hitting another layer of coins.
 
Congratulations on a very successful hunt!
