Got a couple hours free today to go out and detect. So I headed out to a spot that I just recently discovered. I only had 2 hours to hunt so I basically had to jog to the spot, it usually takes a solid 20 minutes to walk. So i get there out of breath and start swinging. IN the hour and a half I was there I only dug buttons and one very early colonial copper...I'm thinking this is gonna be a killer spot. I thought the copper was gonna be unidentifiable but when I started cleanin it I immediately noticed KG1's long pointy snout. And on the back I can see the date 1723. I had just recently dug one of these so it was easy to ID. Thanks for lookin.

Yeah, it's kinda like that feeling when all of the sudden the bumper cars shut off at the carnival when your about to Tbone the crap outta someone.
