KKC got out to a new site on Sunday. It was one of those May days that felt like January. :tongue: The winds were not letting us get by with a nice relic hunting day. :bop: I must thank my uncle though for supplying me with one of his jackets. rofl I never come prepared. rofl
The 1st site we hit looked promising. thumbsup01 We hit the iron patch within a few minutes, but was not welcomed with any decent multiple hits. :ticked: I can't complain though. I did get a mid-reading on my screen and was thinking another shell casing, but was greeted with this counterfeit coin. The coin was definitely used as a copper back in the time. There is one star evident on the obverse and on the reverse, I can see ":daydream:F AM (part of United States of America). This is my 1st counterfeited large cent and KKC's 2nd in a week. I am thinking it is a Coronet or Classic Head due to the stars on the obverse, but I could be wrong. :cheesysmile: On the video, I got too excited at first and thought I had a Woods Hibernia. rofl
That is all we got at this site. One coin and nothing else. It was definitely hunted. :ticked:
The 2nd site was just done the road and was recently plowed and planted with hay. :drool: Since it is in a prime area for Native American artifacts, I kept telling the guys, Look for arrowheads. They are here. Not long in this field and I was soon welcomed with a beautiful sight. :grin: :tongue: 8) Check out the video to see the in-situ. It is a sweet 3,000-9,000 B.C. Archaic spear point. thumbsup01
The last site of the day was our 14 copper site from March. thumbsup01 :twirlingeyes: We had to hunt it one more time before the plant. :tongue: I got a handful of buttons. thumbsup01 One of them turned out to be a Civil War general service button (my 1st military button of 2010). I am cursed with not digging any military buttons older than 1860. :ticked: rofl Kyle got a Colonial copper (15th copper from the tavern). :drool:
Keep the passion high! :drool: :twirlingeyes:
