I have been frequenting a local flea market for a while now and finally got friendly with the manager who allows me to detect the property. The one great thing about flea markets is that the finds are replenished 3 times a week.

I can't believe the array of items I got on today's 3 hour hunt. I wanted to stay out longer but it was much to hot and humid, besides I was almost out of water. I can't believe that I had 6 bottles of water in that short period.

Most of the clad coins including the SB Anthony dollar were found in the parking lot. I always search both sides of the tables and see what goodies were left behind. Today was an 1898 Quarter, not in great shape, but still the first silver quarter I found. :hello2: It must have been dropped by a vendor I guess.

Also found what appears to be a civil bullet, again probably dropped by a vendor. :headbang: Anyway at least I have a little piece of history and $2.72 in clad.

Thanks for reading and happy hunting!

It looks as though the ring is costume jewelry as I was unable to see any marking to indicate otherwise

is this flea market in new jersey?

Yes it is and thank god we have several of them here. This one is in the Lakewood area. I will head to the one in Englishtown tomorrow and it is larger than the one I was hunting.. There is another smaller one to the west in Lambertville.

I think you would neighbor, it is on route 70 W. I also went to hunt in Passadena, NJ by the old brick factory. If you ever want to hunt together give me a shout..
