group hunt with CT TODD * 1802 draped bust LC

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Last night I was pleasantly suprised to get an invite from CT Todd to detect a old colonial soy bean field and said bring a friend.
So Sniffy picked me up at 6:30 am and we were on our way to meet Todd & some other detectorists for 8am.
everyone was pullin coppers except for me & Sniffy.I couldn't get my coil over a coin for nothing except a wheatie & a memorial.dug 2 lead balls & a looks like a hand carved lead bullet head i put it next to a 69 cal civil war bullet for size comparrison.
here it was 2:45 and the hunt was gonna end around 3:30. finally I got a nice 80 ish vdi at 6 inches and the 1802 draped bust large cent finally saw the light of day again.last target was the designed colonial button.
sniffy got his large cent 2 mins after me.was a great hunt and everyone in the group got coppers.one dug a half reale.
Just want to say thank you Todd for the invite.what a class act Todd is and a pleasure to finally meet him & participate on a hunt with him.thanks to all the other detctorists too.was a real pleasure to meet everyone!

That coin was a score and I really like the button........ How deep were they? Just trying to figure how deep the old stuff usually is or can it be 2-4" ??

Nice job yet again Dave. I wonder how yours always look so nice and mine always seem beat. Do you even find a copper in rough shape or do you just know to leave the toasted ones in the ground??
