After taking a long break from detecting (2)yrs because of back problems I felt good enough to get out for a little bit. was back in new jersey visiting family where i'm from, Salem co to be exact. I always use a hand digger but found out a small shovel was better on my back. anyways I decided to try a area called in the old days Pigs Eye outside of Salem. there was a field a short walk from my daughters house that just had soy beans cut down. about a half hour into the hunt I got a screaming hit and it was deep.i pushed the shovel down deep and pulled out a large clump of dirt and when I flipped it over I saw a large thick green coin. now thick usually means early so I got really excited when I saw the flowing hair. my first flowing hair,its not in the best condition but I will take it. about 15 minutes later my back really started to bother me but the adrenlin from the flowing hair kept me going.within another 5 minutes I got another strong hit a showing large cent on the screen.i dug a plug of dirt and out pop a 1794 cap cent in decent condition. wow,what a 1-2 punch.i also found a bridal roset but in the excitement lost it somewhere in the field.in all not a bad hour hunt.i will no doubt go back there later this month. thanks for looking.
