My buddy George and I got out this morning for around three hours at a spot we've been hunting.
It pretty much rained the whole time and the first few inches were still frozen. So far the oldest coin found here is a 1731 KG copper and the newest a 1917 wheatie. George found the only silver today a 1905 Barber quarter. I found what appears to be my first clay marble. Also a piece of a clay pipe stem. Can't wait to go back. Hopefully, next Sunday. The first set of photos is my finds from today and the second is George's.
HH, Mike in NJ

Thanks. After awhile we both just stopped picking them up. They're all over the place in this area.
Take care, Mike in NJ

I used the X5 today. I mainly use it for all relic hunting.

That looks like a great hunt! Nice King George copper. What's the lead(?) disk forth picture down? Looks interesting. I like the counter stamped J*T coin. Any ideas on that?
Nice finds!
Dave.

I'm not sure what that lead thing is. I'll take a picutre of the other side and post it when I get home from work tonight. Not sure about the counter stamped KG. Could've been from a local store back in the day.

I love the counterstamped Georgie. Also the 3 holed copper you don't see often. I found one this year and Don in SJ said mine was the first he has seen. Most have one or 2. :thumbsup:

In my couterstamped book it quotes a J.T (I know yours is a star but likely the same person) who was an Irish Trader (fits with the coin). Not much known about him other than he might have been a silversmith or cutler :icon_thumright:
