Got a new permission today but, like the rest we've gotten this year it's been hit already. Still managed to pull a few keepers.
First was my first New Jersey state copper. All I did was a dry rub and she looks good enough for me. Also got a barrel tap key and a 1938 Independant Car Dealer token. Not a lot of hits other then choppy iron hits.
The original house on the property is gone but, the house standing now is from 1870.

That is pretty wild for both of us digging a NJ copper and then to find the same token. I never saw any tokens like that one and thought maybe I had a special one. I gues not so special. Lol
Now we both needed to find a gold cache our next hunts. Congrats and Good Luck on your next hunt!!

Thanks!! Who's Don SJ? Had a guy on Instagram suggested to get a hold of a Don Hartman for a survey he's doing on NJ coppers, the same guy?

Congrats on your first NJ copper, it is the most common variety 1787 Maris 43-d , but in fairly decent condition, so that is a happy find! I like the token, can't remember seeing one like that before. Please PM me again with State and County found in. I believe Treblehunter's NJ is also a 43-d, but not sure on his due to condition.

Nice finds, congrats. I love the look of that token, very nice! And of course the copper is a super find too. Glad you can still get out and hunt by you... we're frozen up here now.
