got out for almost 2hrs this morning here and managed a few finds but the copper came from a low area in a field so it was rotted to heck <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":(">
well after a nice wire brush and some Lime-Away on it I have an ID, now I had no ID before this so I had nothing to lose at all <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
also a few whatzits but the copper and the 69cal rd ball were the better finds.
The copper is a Connecticut copper 1785-1788 so that I know <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
and this is a copper of normal condition up here <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":(">.. maybe 1 of 20 is nice condition
 
wire brush on a copper is the ONLY way to go! Congrats on gettin an ID on that coin!!

I found 13 colonials this year and all were in the same or worse condition than yours. All were at the same site too. Hey, I figure any copper(LC or Col.) is a good copper! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
