Finds From the Most Recent Adventure - 1863 Indian Cent & More

[Chuck Norris]

Took a 2 hour drive south to meet up with the Central and Southern factions of my crew and we all went back to the land of the satanic bushes.....spent a couple hours at the original section of woods and we all pulled a few bits and pieces out before deciding to explore around. This area is several hundred acres of public land with a hiking trail that used to have several farms and housesites dating back to the early 1800s. We did the run and gun thing and found a few more spots worth going back to and a few areas that we're just going to leave to the chiggers.

Here's the best of it....1863 fat Indian, 1885 Indian, 1883 V nickel, a few buttons and a mess of typical housesite stuff. These woods are going to be awesome in the winter when things die down. One of my buddies got a solid gold early 1800s button and another got a sweet little Civil War era Marines cuff button.

Here's the mess for the day.....relics, coins, buttons, a few ticks, a bunch of chigger bites, mild case of heat stroke and a dehydration headache....all and all was a good hunt for August in Jersey

Oh....and some of my trash....yes, trash. Its pretty simple, machine beeps...dig a hole. Not many people show the garbage and maybe this gives the new diggers out there a false sense that every hole has treasure in it....it don't, reality is you have to dig the crap to get the good


Well, thanks for looking and until the next adventure keep on swinging

Man you can't beat that with a stick....chigger bites and all....oh yea, can't forget the good ole saw briars...I usually come out bleeding like a stuck pig...
Way to hang in there...water and more water is a August must.

congrats on the great finds and you have some. the trash? my trash bucket in the back of my truck is about to spill over the top and weights a ton now that it has been rained on several times. But when the two youngest grandsons are with me, it is treasure junk that we are digging and we dig a lot of it. great job

Thanks RVRoamer......the blood letting sacrifice was the last time I was there lol and the chiggers put up a good fight for their size but they were no match for Chuck Norris lol

Thanks dirtlooter....much appreciated. I've got about a dozen 5 gallon buckets of trash find in the garage....its always been an idea to try and scrap the brass and copper but it never happened and now I have more than I know what to do with, would take a month to sort it all out so if you're ever in Jersey, feel free to grab a few buckets for the grandsons to go thru
