Colonial settlement, Gettysberg, and Mayan temples!!

[j.d. in the usa]

Howdy everyone Oct. was wild month for me, I went to gettysberg and found a wedding ring lost 10 years ago and as reward i got permission to detect a farm 1 mile from gettysberg!!! and got to detect and concentrate on a colonial village long forgotten about in NJ..then we went to chichen -itza and cozumel on a cruise that was just awsome... I spent 3 weeks hunting in NJ Oct... 2 days in Pa.
I have bags of relics, bullets, jewelry, and coins from the hunts it will take me weeks to take pics of everything im gonna post a day by day of the hunts on my website in the next few weeks...
but here are some shots of the finds , the best coin finds were a couple NJ coppers, some reales, a few beautiful capped bust coins i put the good coin finds in plastic sleeves... a rare button Smiley , 3 pocket watches, 1 colonial and 1 victorian era change purses, a monster supply of buckles!! lol lol... it was just a great time and lots of finds... i cant wait to go back in the spring

Great finds! Which ship were you on? My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Oct. and we also went on Carnival to Cozumel andbut we didn't want a 5-hour bus ride to Chichen-Itza (I wish we had though). We were on the Valor. What part of NJ were you detecting in?

[j.d. in the usa]

that particular farm in pa thats in the pics no spanish silver was found there... i detected many diff. spots over a 3 week period 8 hours + a day... 6 of the 8 spanish silver coins were found in 1 spot on 1 day in a 10 min. period , the other 2 were found at different locations the main spot that was detected was a colonial settlement spot in NJ which i have not posted pics of.
