After finding the TALLIO cufflinks last month and having not been able to get out since then I seized the opportunity this morning to get a hunt in at the site that has been our go to place for a year now. Yesterday at the site, my son on a solo hunt, wanted to try out his new T2 detector and he was rewarded with BUCKSHOT for his first retrieval. 
However, he did get his second colonial copper for the year with his new detector not long afterwards a beat up Old Head style King George II Halfpenny.
So, I decided to go the site and hunt the opposite side from where he hunted and within the first five minutes I got the sweet sound a of coin, the crosshairs gave a no doubt about verification on the visual ID and dug and in the pile was a pretty scuzzy looking copper, but sure made my morning, especially getting one so quickly. Well, as I got up after retrieving the coin, I ended up having to cut the hunt short after my back decided time to head home rather abrutly, so I swallowed my pride and aborted the hunt after less than an hour total hunting time. Sure it will be OK by weeks end to try again, since Mother Nature is now starting to be a good girl!
So here is the view where from where the coin was found
Copper in the pile!!
Cleaning in progress, it was not till afternoon that I knew my crusty copper was my 16th NJ copper found!
And the before and after photograph, she may be crusty, but sure now looks a lot better than as it was...........

Mine has the little things underneath the shield. It's so hard trying to figure out which variety it is considering there were so many.
