These finds are from three seperate hunts Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday. Start it of with my personal favorite, being from Massachusetts this has been near the top of my list for awhile. I haven't finished cleaning it completely as I want to be careful not to ruin it, plus it's that stubborn dirt that peroxide and toothbrush won't touch.

Some very fine recoveries. The Massachusetts Copper is an outstanding dig and is in fantastic condition. Take much care in its cleaning. Congrats on one superb outing. Trapper
 
Be careful cleaning that. At some point u will be doing more damage than cleaning. 90% of the time u realize uve hit that point, after rather then before hurting it.
That coin looks nice. but like most coppers, u can see the patina flaking off from the outer edge. You dont want that to start creeping onto the face.
Unfortunately the usually look good wet and in pictures but much different dry .
I dug three so far and the one thats the best is no where near as nice as yours.

I think they are so cool. And I think paul revere had something to do with making them if I remember correctly. Maybe he touched it or saw it.
It just gets u thinking. Way cool

Thanks man! Yeah I'm done cleaning it, once it totally dried it started chipping. Super frustrating cause some chip and are toasted underneath and some have even better details. The flakes are really thin but this isn't a coin I'm willing to risk it on, braided hair maybe but not this one. And yeah the picture was taken with light on it, the Indian side shows up really well without light but the patina is uneven on the eagle side so it needs light to see all the details. Either way I'm very pleased, definitely one of my best coins so far. And yours is in nice shape too!

Thanks man, the crazy thing is one of my friends actually found the exact same cuff button but his is complete, both buttons still linked together. Not from the same site though.
