Sick. Sick sick sick. East coast lies. They'd have us believe that LC's and colonial coppers are jumping out of every sandbox over there. Right ?

Aside from the Barbers, I couldn’t fathom finding what you up-North guys find.
Congrats on a great year!

Yes, I totally realize I'm very lucky to live in NJ as a detectorist.

Now, the flipside is I dig on old farms most of the time and I'm 50/50 at best on being able to pull a date of a KG or US copper. The chemicals used on the farms are brutal for the coins. I was unable to pull a date from any of the four NJ Coppers I dug this year.

I'll be digging in the UK in March with Brandon Neice and I can't wait to dig a Roman hammered!

But even if those east coast guys DO post pix of LC's, colonial coppers, busts, etc.... I still don't believe it. If you look closely, you'll see that they're merely pictures of the same coins over and over and over again. They mail them back and forth to each other. Then stage them in convincing "in-situ" reveal photos. Merely staged for pictures with a little bit of photo-shop paint-shop editing. Don't be fooled !!
