1780's Nova Constellatio

[GKMan]

Hi Folks
Hope everyone is doing well. I have been detecting quite a bit and doing alright but not posting. Today I found a Nova Constellatio in one of the fields I have been detecting. Obverse is toast but reverse isn't terrible. I found it only a few feet from a clad dime. I am glad I didn't get lazy thinking it was just another clad coin and end up dinging it. It was about four inches down, right in the middle of the road I have been driving up and down through the field.
Happy Hunting.

Correction on post.. a friend of mine who is an eagle eyed coin ID experts says this very well may be a 1785 or 6 Vermont Landscape Copper. The reverses do look very much alike, but there was just enough detail to say it probably was one and not the other. Sorry about the confusion.

Way more better than a clad - haha. Nice find and welcome back from your posting break.

I see your farmers use a lot of fertilizer too! Shame those old coppersvtake it so hard. Awesome that it had enough for ID though. Always happy bout that,
Good snag though! Surprized the field isnt under crop right now. Your lucky!

Thanks guys. It isn't a working farm.. They brush hogged some fields and are logging some of it. I pulled out a handful of nice King George's I will have to post from the same fields.
