Day 2 new permission. 5 silver's,1808 half cent, 2 large cents and a NJ copper!

Started back at the new permission this morning with a nice solid 3 inches of frozen ground. Started out with a new jersey copper, my first in almost 3 years. It's thick, but pretty warn. Next came the beautiful 1818 large cent. After that followed with my first ever capped bust large cent, 1810. Fourth copper was another first, an 1808 draped bust half cent!!!

After that little copper frenzy was over, I went back to the spot in the field where I found the silver's yesterday. I got real deep, scratchy iron signals, but with silver like numbers. All over a foot, I pulled out five silver coins in a 2 by 2 foot area. First was a Washington quarter, then a barber quarter. Then came another first for me, a 1918 walking liberty half! I nicked it with the shovel though. Darn thing was over a foot deep and since the signal was faint and scratchy the pinpointing was off. Then ended up getting another barber quarter and a washington!

Also got several relics. The usual buttons. Not sure what the large brass horn shaped(pipe shaped) piece is. It was deep. Nice bone handled pocket knife and a few other odds and ends.

My best coin day by far. So thrilled and on cloud nine! HH!

Thanks. I've been pining to get back out there. Haven been since the second trip because of the ground being frozen. I'd like to get my bigger search coil before I go back out there because of how deep the silver coins were...I feel I may be missing some!

I believe the tea spout is a handle to a tea pot somewhere I saw the same thing on another web page and it showed the same design may be wrong.vanzutphen

This is from Don on the NJ copper:

Thanks Matt,* I played with the photos and am 95% sure now it is not the more common 77-dd, but the Rarity 4 (Very Scarce) variety 75-bb.** So before I commit I want to send the photos to a NJ collecting buddy of mine and see if he agrees.** It would be the 4th one of that variety in my almost 700 coin survey.** I will send my "doctored" photos now.* But will let you know when my buddy collaborates or not. It is one or the other, but most attributes I can see favor the 75 and not the 77....
