Mikey (Forino) is back home for good and he called me last night to see if we could get out.went to a cellar hole and worked it until it started raining.
some good targets at this site & we'll be back for sure!
a huge crotal bell broke at the bottom with a makers mark of OBO. a few clad coins a smaller crotal bell the mounted to a leather strap variety and at 1 inch a 79 VDI reading..expecting a memorial or wheatie this pops out.a most likely date of 1787 New Jersey colonial copper.

Dave, the only thing that may keep you from 80 Coppers in 2011 might be the crummy weather headed your way. Good Luck, Quindy.

Nice finds there. Always a thrill to dig a state copper. You probably have enough Connecticuts, so the New Jersey's a bonus. That is great crotal bell, even with the small area busted out.

The Crotal bell has 1 initial on each side, so that is a .B. not OBO (the other initial is broken off) :icon_thumright:
