So today I got out with HEAVYMETALNUT on a WINDY colonial hunt. We decided to try one of his sites that he hasn't spent a large amount of time ....A nice center hearth colonial cellar hole. It was pretty tough today with the snow but I managed to pull a nice handful of keepers. The mercury dime was a freak show.....automatically I thought capped bust dime or seated.....but look at her in all her 1918 glory. Then I decided to hunt the old road....and I got a nice deep signal on the T2...it was reading low but it ended up being my first copper of the day. I believe this coin to be a William and Mary which finnaly lands me a spot in the 1600's club..lol...The rest of the afternoon was pretty good, I managed a nice Connecticut and King George III a broken ornate shoebuckle....couple musket balls, buttons, and a brass pull....The targets here you REALLY have to work hard for. Dave also did well....All in all I had an awesome day. Thanks for lookin folks!

Great finds and pictures Sniffy . Way to go on those 3 Coppers . |:cheering:I really envy you Eastern Copper Masters having multiple copper days . :envious: I would love to find one large copper out here
but it doesn't happen very often .A typical 3 copper day for me would be 2 memorials and a cut piece of tubing . >:{

Excellent hunting Sniffy. Three coppers in one hunt is fantastic. I can see how you would be thinking capped bust when the merc showed herself.
