Colonial pennies

[Tykit]

Found these colonial era pennies plus about 5 NJ coppers since April in fields, corn fields, and in woods on the out-skirts of a pre-revolutioanry war town in NJ. About 50% of the coppers I dug have some details left and the other 50% are badly corroded with no details left. One here is dated 1718, it may be the oldest. Two are in the 1770's and the King George half penny had a date 1735 but the date disappeared after I washed the coin with water. Yea, I'm finding the colonial pennies but what I'm really trying to find is a capped bust silver coin, maybe this year. None of these were deeper than 8". Found with ID Edge and CoinStrike. Both these detectors get the same depth in the soil but the Edge is lighter weight so it's the one I use mostly.

With finds like that there has to be silver there, my oldest copper is A 1787 CT. I only wish my area went back as far as yours does, great historic recoveries

Congrats...glad to see some old stuff coming out of our area of NJ. The heat has been keeping me in for the most part but I did sneak out for a short hunt on Monday and pulled a beautiful 1885-O Morgan Dollar out of the ground.

Keep it up.
