Rob came over at around 7am today and we headed into Springfield. He had gotten a lead on a park in a very bad section of town but we figured we would be there early so nobody should be up and about. We called it right. Rob managed to get himself 4 silvers, a buff, and 10 wheats (I think). I got a rosie, a wash and 6 wheats which now puts me over my last years total. I will also be including a picture of what I am hoping to be a copper (but I have been disappointed before). If you can identify it please chime in. I am also gonna post it in the Relics section. To the left of the head I can make out CONV (I think), hope that helps.
Also got another sterling ring. Over all we had a pretty good day
Thanks for reading and drink a lot of water

Hey Al, you have more dedication that I do to keep pulling those finds in this weather :omg:
Congratulations on the old coins and the claddagh ring. |:cheering:
That looks like a copper for sure. I have seen that design before somewhere; I'm sure someone will recognize it :yes:

Good observation, it's actually in the oil. When I looked at the coin in the oil, I could really see the outline so I thought it would be best to photo that way
