I got out to a new foundation I found recently. Soon into the hunt I get a decent signal and out comes the shoe buckle frame. I love digging those so that made my day already. This place is loaded with Iron, in the heavy iron I was able to pull the Tombac button, the toe tap piece and the thimble. After more junk I dug up what I believe is a valve of some sort if anyone knows about it would be cool to hear. Soon after the valve I dug up the large cooper which is very thin and in poor condition when it came out of the ground. It doesn't have much detail, but after to emailing Don from Jersey and Don from Brewster, I believe it to be counterfeit. It weighs 6.9 grams. Anyways a fun hunt, thanks for looking.
