Haven't seen anyone pulled a copper print from the ground on PA before, great find - if not a bit spooky. :D

Thanks Goldpick ..... If I cleaned it up more it'll show less spookiness and more of it's glamour from back in the day. :)
 
Best I Could do Silver ....

So I had a dig in the back lawn and found the Rubbish dump but before finding that I hit on a nice clear signal 34, started digging it up and saw gold and yup a nice clean new $1, started filling in the hole and thought oh wait I will swing it again and sure enough another signal woop coin spill I am thinking to myself and sure enough a $2 coin, so I swung the detector again and this time a 36 signal.....Shocked to see a penny show up and a 1921 as well.
This house was built in 1950 but that doesn't mean there wasn't another one here before this one.
Also found the brass objects in the lawn....and a Bullet RAL III

Can only imagine what else is in this dump which is 2 foot underground and deeper...

Tonight's dig, well Fridays was a last minute decision hitting my Silvers Spot....Met Michael and Peter a local who I had met the other night.
Peter gave me some pointers on where to have a swing and we parted ways....

First target was within the first 5 minutes a crisp shallow 36 and out popped a Com Penny....Was some time before I hit my next signal and then right after that another only metres away.....Both signals were Silver and both were Sixpences so I was happy with that, the rest of the night was junk after junk, I should have cleared it out all of the other nights...oh well no worries.
Before leaving I said to my son Jacob lets go down the hillside for a quick look and I am happy I did, a loud 32 meant a Threepence woop woop 3 Silvers for the night and time to come home.

Very tarnished and is going to need a few treatments to come clean...

This one also very tarnished and very thin so will need to be very careful with it.

Thanks mate, unfortunately not Choppers house, maybe a copper lived here back in the 20s or earlier and lost that button.
The reason I say 20s is because of the 1921 Penny and today I found a 1917 Com Half Penny right where I found the button. :Y:
