Ended 2019 with two hunts- one begin xmas yielding an 1840 LC not worn or corroded from the old farm site and on last day of 2019 a 1969 Half from a local park.

Started 2020 today out at the old farm finding a very corroded IH cent (no date) and a large copper that turns out to be a 1787 Fugio.

The Fugio is almost an eye popping find except I didn't know what it was until at home cleaning it. Then saw the chain ring.

Both LCs were found in the same area and are bent. First thought their were used for target shooting.:shock:

Congrats on the Fugio! I read about those years ago and that's the closest I've come to finding one!
 
... and a large copper that turns out to be a 1787 Fugio....

It's only the 2nd day of the year, and you east-coast guys are ALREADY pulling up colonial coppers and LC's ? Ssshheeesskkk :sissyfight:
 
Awesome finds! I was fortunate enough to see a fugio dug right in front of me. Unfortunately it was from MY spot :laughing: great hunting waltr, good luck in 2020!
