1780's Grist Mill Yields More Lost Coins for 2010

Hi TNet , This is it for 2010 . A great year for digging in the swamps of Jersey . The old mill site continues to give up good stuff . 40 degrees , and unfrozen woods and waterfront . 6 hours out in the swamp . Thought I hit the holy grail of half cents ...1796 Liberty cap without pole....

it turned out to be a 1794 liberty with pole :'(

but I am still happy about finding this one !!!! 1806 draped bust , ssweet little half sister , 1739 KG II , all beat up but still can see date , and a counterstamped classic LC in scruffy shape . A end of the year highlite and last dig for 2010, was a small silver cross with a rose on the front , beautiful old silversmith creation from long ago . . May you all have a safe , HAPPY , HEALTHY , Prosperous New Year 2011 :occasion14:

That's All Folks !!! Dawg

Great way to cap the year Mike! Love the dandy buttons and the early coppers. The silver cross is really cool. The old mill looks like she would like to see you again next year, she's still puttin out ::)

That mill site is what relic hunters dream about Dawg. You had an incredible year. When I first started relic hunting, I borrowed an old Garrett detector from a friend. He told me that few people realize that things "move" in the ground due to freezing, thawing, drought, etc. and it may move the coin or relic JUST enough to get a signal you missed at that site before. Wear that mill site out Bud. HNY, Quindy.
