An Uuuuugly NJ Copper is still beautiful+ coin cut Whizzer toy

[Scrappy]

During my "lunch break" I took a trip down to a nearby 1684 house permission. They had just laid some underground wiring and landscaped a bit, so there was a bunch of churned soil.

Not much showed up until I get a high ring right on the surface. I wish I had taken a picture but I grabbed it impulsively. Lol.


It was shot and I knew it. I tried some peroxide with no avail, so I lightly "buffed" the surface. The result is a small shield and you can see the horse. This is New Jersey Copper #3 for the year and 5th overall.


Here's the rest


Hand cut whizzed toy made from a copper coin. I love these things!



Others from this year...



Hunts like this can really get into your head because it makes you wonder what's out of the reach of your detector. I've hunted this area very well, and this coin was most certainly out of range until the soil was dug out for underground cable.

Enjoy, and good digs

Santa, I want a back hoe and a suction dredge for Christmas, lol
Nice lunch hunt, maybe you could come down for lunch tomorrow, I was working an iron patch as big as a football field today. Pottery shards, glass, brick, from one end to the other, 40 yrds wide I was gridding.

I'm in! If I can find time to go to that town to meet you, with time left to detect! Ha! After the holidays, if the ground isn't too bad, I'll make a day. It's been too long

on the Caesarea, sent you a PM on the whizzer. Colonial beats everything, even gold I am considering training a squadron of moles equipped with nano metal detectors to recover REALLY deep treasure

I'll check out your PM after this. Cheers
