I live in Roselle, NJ.
I am about a month into this hobby and my girlfriend is showing a lack of enthusiasm for MD'ing already.
I bought an excalibur 1000 and an explorer SE and am burning up for some time on these machines so I could use a regular buddy to hunt with.
Also, Jersey sucks for this hobby 'cause everything is illegal in this freakin horrible state, I hate it!
I am planning on a relocation to a better state, long before I found this hobby and this just put the proverbial icing on THAT cake!
So, I go down the shore on weekends but I also want to try some coin shooting if I can find some good maybe colonial or older sites that aren't "locked down".
I could use some help and support.

Thanks,
Chase

Chase,
Some of the best finds on this forum come from NJ. We are one of the first settled areas in the country. Just take a look at some of my finds, or Don of South Jersey's. You are in an area where if you look hard enough and do the research you will be rewarded. Here is one link you will find helpful. It is the Historic Map collection of Rutgers:

How is the hunt for a partner going? Toward the end of October I should have more time to detect since my daughters soccer season ends. If you are still looking for a partner I would meet up with you somewhere by us. I'm not that far from you..Exit 131.

Im in Branchburg in Somerset County. Ive got a colonial site or two. I also think hunting by yourself can be a bore. Give me a shout if you want to hunt.

I just posted something in the "General DIscussion" forum about research, so take a look. i am also going to be writing more on the subject. Congrats on your button!
