Hey everyone had another great day today. I finally dug my first 1700's coin. My area is old and I have been to spots as old but have came up short on the coins. Not alot of money to lose at those times.
This spot I have known of for awhile now. It took 5 trips to figure out it had something. It started a few weeks ago when I wanted to go investigate another area in the same woods. This old camp witch it may have been was on the way. So we stopped and hit it me and my brother. Lance found 2 flat buttons and a token and I found a merc.
After that I have been down there every chance I can get. I have been having alot of sucess so far with this 1400 coil. I like it alot. I am not paid buy whites so I only say things for the benefits of others. Not every body hunts like I do nor know the unit as well. Just saying the coil is awesome and goes deep.
The 2 large cents were very nice to get yesterday. I found the 1846 right as I got there and knew it would be a good day. Today was slower for the first hr. Then I got a good solid quarter hit at 7.5 I dug down that deep maybe a little deeper and out it popped. I thought it was another large cent until I got it home.
Then I realized I had a 1787 post colonial new jersey copper. The front has a horse facing to the right. It says around the rim this Nova Casarea. Then the date at the bottom with a branch above it. The back has a sheild right in the middle. Then it says around the rim E Pluribus Unum. These last 2 days have been alot of fun. The history at this site is amazing. These types of spots really touch me in a way because these were real people. Every flat button I dig or old relic puts me back in time. These area's had alot of Indians and forts at those times. Just realizing how old some of this stuff is truly makes you appreciate it.
I found 2 more flat buttons and a nice buckle today also. Found some strange 30/6 bullets with a rubber protector over the bullet part. I have been sick lately and you can imagine how much better I was after finding a 220 year old coin almost. When you make finds like these you don't even think about how much more the coil weighs.
Thanks for Looking
