I went today for a very long walk to a site in Greenwich NJ I've never hunted before. I have been in my old lakes almost every day picking away at some junk rings, clad, a few older nickles and newer silver coins. I only stayed on the dirt road at this large wooded area, doing the right hand side of the road going in then the other side going out. I was in the woods about four hours. Good day for it, about 75 and the humidity was not quite so bad. Going in I found this strange copper/brass "whatsit". Not sure what to call it.
If anyone has a proper ID for this please feel free to chime in?
Here is the group shot
On the way back I heard a nice sound that I almost passed up thinking it was another shotgun headstamp. I actually took about four steps and thought I must be really tired to pass up an target in that number range, thinking to myself, how many Spanish Reals have I found that sound and number like that. Out pops this 32 mm copper from about 10 inches down in that South Jersey glass sand. One look at it and seeing the detail and the Latin I knew it had to be something old good. Can't wait till it's cold enough to kill the ticks and chiggers, I'll be back in there often.
Here are a bunch of pix of my water finds from my two lakes that I like to hunt up to my neck in. These are from the last few weeks.

Looks like you've been busy man. I really like that odd brass piece and the ring with the R. I dug one of those weird buttons about 23 years ago... mine if obviously some sort of modern junk button though.
You are blessed with variety! We should all be so lucky but we take what we can get from our particular areas and travel to find those not available in ours. The only thing is the limited time we have when we have to travel...
