First COPPER of 2011!!!!

Sniffy · Mar 19, 2011

Got out with HeavyMetalNut today. The first major portion of the day was a disappointment, all of the sites we located were pounded to smithereens. GRUELING WALK through a foot of snow in some spots. All three cellar holes we found had absolutely no signals left. SO the last spot we agreed on was a farm field that once had a homestead. With permission from the farmer, we began our march through the manure. When buttons started poppin I just knew coppers would surface. I managed these buttons and chewed up NEW JERSEY! (my first). Thanks for lookin!

There's nothing like cow poo and coppers, congrats on your first NJ Sniffy.
I've never found one either, and not likely I will.

Nice one Sniffy. Out of curiosity, what is the diameter of that coin? Looks between the size of an indian and shield. I've probably seen them on here before but having trouble remembering what they look like.

i dont' think so, I didn't want to try and clean it any more. It looks like it may just crumble away. I'm just happy to be able to ID it as a New Jersey.

Cow patty treasures...Oh yeah! Great job.

Nice way to start the copper count for 2011 with a NJ Copper. Living in Virginia, we don't get those types of Coppers down this way and if we do its a rare occasion. Most of the coppers we dig here are KG I, II, III, KGIII Virginia Halfpennys and Large Cents.....although I did dig a Connecticut Copper out of left field a few months ago :laughing9:

I'd love to dig one of those New Jerseys one of these days in any condition! Congratulations :occasion14:

Jerry1NJ · Mar 20, 2011

Nice. I found my first today also. :icon_thumright:

Big 8,AKA Sniffy,

I remember the CT you found. Fortunately up here we have a larger range with variety of coppers. I'd love to find a Virginia Halfpenny. Wanna trade spots for awhile?
