Best Yard EVER! 10 Silvers & an unknown Copper!

[Full Metal Digger]

First door I knocked on today. 6 of the quarters were in a spill next to a big old stump. The Franklin rang up as 01-49 at 2 inches deep. The Walker rang up as 01-50 at 6 inches deep. I won't even mention all the wheat pennies. Can anyone ID the copper for me? HH, Dave.

1724 Hirbernia Half penny? SWEEET yard!!! Congrats on an awesome day!!!:congrats::thumbsup02:

[CTTodd]

Great day out. British penny but 1800s I think.

[Skamaniac]

After checking internet images, my guess is George III penny. But man, what a GREAT hunt!

[wisconsin digger]

Wow that's a lot of BIG silver. Wisconsin Digger

[Jyes]

Lot of silver! Yes, it is a 1805 or 1806 KGIII Halfpenny.

Thanks for the ID. Can you see the date in my picture or is that the only years they made that coin?

[Jyes]

Actually, it is probably 1806, I believe 1806 and 1807 were the only years, so what I thought might be a 5 or 6 at the end must be a 6.


Added the date side photo of one of mine so you can see what the date should look like.

I was waiting to see this post after you called me this afternoon. :thumbsup01:

HOLY COW! :shocked05:

You knocked it out of the park, Dave! :notworthy:

I have NEVER seen that many silver quarters in one hunt! INCREDIBLE!

Then add a Franklin, Walker and an 1806 copper! MIND BLOWING!

Huge congrats on the spectacular day! :groovy:

Yes! I can see the date on mine now! It's also 1806. Thanks SO much for posting a pic of yours. I can also see the GEORGIUS III on mine too.

Thanks Tony! I can't wait to MD the other half of that yard. It's quite large at about one acre (1/2 up front, 1/2 in the back). I'm surprised I didn't get any Indians or mercs though. The yard was tough to work though with TONS of iron signals and falsing every few inches. I might have missed the deeper fainter signals. My auto sensitivity hung around 20 the whole time.

I got to start knocking on more doors! That is awesome, and all in one day! Congratulations are in order! Good job Daddy Digger! You are living up to your name.

[Timewarpdigger]

[Digger Don]

Wow, I can only dream of a yard like that. Absolutely Great Finds. :perfect10: Congrats

[zrickkid]

Daddy Digger maybe some time we can get together for a hunt when I visit my sister in Missouri. She live in
Florissant right over the border. I plan on being there over the 4th of July holiday for a few days. That was a nice hunt by the way. :shocked04:

Thanks Del, I definitely got lucky! I'm curious about the 1806 copper though. Since we were minting our own coins by 1806 why would we still be using British coins?

[The Rebel]

Totally awesome hunt!

Dave , we were using foreign currency of all kinds up until 1857 when the government made it illegal to do so. It really didn't matter who was on it as lond as it was good copper or silver it was accepted .

[giant056]
