An Encounter with 2 TH'ers & a productive outing

WOW! What an amazing beautiful sunny springlike day with a temperature high of 62 degrees.

This morning I took a walk in the woods by my house to look for alum cans. After 5 minutes into the woods & while I was at the party spot picking up a few cans, I then saw an older guy swinging a White's metal detector. I had a nice friendly chat with him & then no sooner I saw another guy swinging along the same path also using another White's unit. One hunter told me awhile back while MD'ing in area, he found a 1792 Chainlink cent & someone offered him $1000.00 for it so he sold it.

After seeing them TH'ing I later grabbed my Garrett GTI 1500 & went back to that big soccerfield & park by me. As soon as I walked in the field I immediately began getting signals. Coins were everywhere. I hunted from 2:30pm to 4:30pm & found a pouch full of stuff. I didn't even dump out the pouch yet to see all that I found but I was pleasantly surprised when I popped out 2 Presidential dollars, a Kennedy half dollar, all kinds of quarters, dimes, pennies, etc. Some coins were as deep as 8 inches. It was the 3rd Kennedy half I found in my town this year.

After all the recent storms we've had, the ground conditions are the best I've ever seen. The ground is cool, wet & thoroughly saturated, highly conductive & very easy to dig. I can't wait to go TH'ing again as there is lots of great treasure yet to be found everywhere.

Very interesting. But I think I would be going out in the woods where those guys were hunting and check around. If the woods is near you and the park is near you and those guys either haven't been to the park or they don't know how to metal detect to good.

Knightwalker. I totally agree with what you said. Those 2 guys I met in the woods today are new & I never saw them before. I highly doubt they didn't find that park yet or else they wouldn't have missed all those coins. However, if they did hunt it they are super poor TH'ers. Also, I need to start TH'ing those trails & woods by me as they have some history which dates back to the 1700's. One thing I like about living in NJ is all the old history here but sadly NJ is building up as such a fantastic rate that all the sites are being destroyed without regards to preserving it. Its all about money & greed that is paving the way to progress. Even places that once used to be protected are now gone. Its amazing what money will do & who you can buy off, etc.
