Don't know how to post pics...but yesterday found my firs large coppers, an 1803 and an 1817 Coronet essentially stacked together in the hole. Also nailed a solid brass paperweight cruise liner with wording: save your space early on one side and bound for Bermuda 1923 on the other. Weighs about 5 ounces. Bonus just before I left was a mid to late 1800s horseshoe for pulling. The site had a house on it from 1753 and was moved 1850 to another location(which I also have an invitation to search). The horseshoe(and remnants of rigging for pulling) seems to have been an artifact of at least the animals of the time, but cannot rule out the skidding of the house up the road by the wealthy mill owner of the time.
This was my sixth trip out with the Tek Patriot and the sixth trip with a modern detector. I haven't been out prior to that since around 20 yrs ago and that was only for one summer with a 25 dollar yard sale detector for dry sand on the Jerse Shore...so yeah...I'm braggin' a little.
