You are having a great year, Dawg. I know you will be digging early SJ sites this Fall. Cufflinks, shoe buckle frames, and many coppers will be dug in style. Thanks for sharing your 2011 finds.

Nice pics. I actually know where some of these places are as I recently purchased a Ford van down in that area and I was salivating at the thought of detecting around those particular towns. Nice digs!

Dawg, you had a great winter and spring for sure and expect the same this upcoming season. I knew I had a photo of that one house in my files, just found it tonight, think the color shows a tad bit better. YIKES! If it is not the same one, at least we have another oldie on your post, sign says 1810.

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."
