A Colonial First....

[DigginVt]

Hunted a 100 year old property on Monday and a 200 year old place today. I'll cut to the chase, today had a quick 45 minutes, new property. Found a 1785 Auctori Connec, Connecticut Colonial Copper Penny, African Head design, 8" down, rang in a nice 12/40 on the CTX, was thinking a wheat penny, wrong.

Also a belt buckle, shoe buckle, clock key, two wheat's and 1908 Indian.

Monday at the 100 year old house I found 2 Rosey's ,2 Merc's, 3 Wheat's. One of the Merc's was in trash, couldn't find it with the 17" coil, I could hear the high tone but it kept nulling and chirping with iron and trash. Did a quick change to the 6" coil and it locked right in on the high tone.

I have the Connecticut Copper soaking in olive oil to hopefully loosen up some crud. Trying to squeeze all the hunt time in before Alaska.
