A first for me !!!

[Brian in MA]

Finally got out for few hours. It felt really good to swing the Explorer again and I'm loving the new metal arm-cuff that I got after going through a few plastic ones.

Hit a spot that I thought had some potential, and I was right. I got my first ever New Jersey copper. Unfortunately, as with 99% of the coppers I find, it is toast. But, there is enough of the shield and horse showing to ID it as a NJ. (not sure the picture will show the shield, but it is there!!!)

Got a couple of musket balls and a buckle fragment too. I'm very pleased with my outing.

Thanks hogge. I have found a Conn, a MA and now a NJ. But, no VT's. Maybe I need to visit the western part of the state

Way to go Brian ! I am glad you got out I would be happy with that NJ copper . A 1700's copper from the ground in about good condition is a good find ! I will be shocked if I dig a NJ way up here in Maine ! HH MaineRelic

Good job Brian. You will never go back to a plastic arm cuff after having the metal one. Well worth the extra cash.

WTG Brian, shame on condition but it is identifiable and that is what counts on our historic recoveries. Like Sniffy, could you please PM me with the county/state found in for my survey? Thanks


I concur with wanting to find a Vermont, both the son and I have found 2 each but it was back in the 90s! Long dry spell since then....
