What this copper is. I went out for 3 cold hours this morning. The copper was a solid 74 VDI at 8 with the M6 and 12 coil. Got some clad and the standard colour button too. I was at my favorite park that Ive been to about 1000 times so far :grin:
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Boy that must have been cold this morning. I going to let it warm up a bit and try to get some late day hunting in.
I think winter is just holding on tight to it's last week. By the end of this coming week... no more cold! <:

From the land of the Bluenose.....wow you do get to hunt a lot. Feel lucky just getting out 115 days last year. Darn work, ball and honey do lists get in the way. Nice scoff on the old coin! <;)

Once you clean it you may get a bit more detail out, it only takes a little bit to be able to ID. Nice find

[nachotreasure]

Way to go on the coppers Steve! Will you be able to ID them? I'm lacking in the how far do you go dept for cleaning coins. I want to see everything I can and have ruined a few just to find out I couldn't see anymore than when I started. Happy hunting, Jeff

that place never dies out huh Steve , when coppers are that far gone you really can't do anything that will make them worse . i've had a few that were virtually smooth on both sides and i gave them a hot peroxide bath and the used a scotchbrite pad on them and i couldn't believe how much datail was still there . i manage to identify one as a King William half penny (1696 -1700) . so theres always hope to identify them .

My very first old copper was an 1802 LC. I was new to the hobby and asked around on Tnet how to clean it. I was told of the hot peroxide bath. I cooked it! I swore I would never do it again. Im tempted to take the brass brush to this one. :cheesysmile:
And yes Dan, This place just keeps on giving. I'd love to see what an Etrac could get out of it.
