During my "lunch break" I took a trip down to a nearby 1684 house permission. They had just laid some underground wiring and landscaped a bit, so there was a bunch of churned soil.
Not much showed up until I get a high ring right on the surface. I wish I had taken a picture but I grabbed it impulsively. Lol.
It was shot and I knew it. I tried some peroxide with no avail, so I lightly "buffed" the surface. The result is a small shield and you can see the horse. This is New Jersey Copper #3 for the year and 5th overall.
Here's the rest
Hand cut whizzed toy made from a copper coin. I love these things!
Others from this year...
Hunts like this can really get into your head because it makes you wonder what's out of the reach of your detector. I've hunted this area very well, and this coin was most certainly out of range until the soil was dug out for underground cable.
Enjoy, and good digs

on the Caesarea, sent you a PM on the whizzer. Colonial beats everything, even gold 
I am considering training a squadron of moles equipped with nano metal detectors to recover REALLY deep treasure
