JFX props to you bud for all those Beautiful Colonials. My bud found a colonial King George III a few weeks ago and the soil was so good to it, that it looked like it had just been dropped. The detail was unbelievable! Definitely a exception to the rule though. Again, great finds buddy!

JFX, exactly! That kind of rasearch can be done in any state to find those Colonial coins....there should be no excuses. Good job!

Dude, you just don't get it!!!! LOL Colonial coins are from the states that were part of the original 13 colonies before we had federal coinage! That's why they are called "Colonial Coins". When was Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, etc part of the 13 colonies LOL. I would suggest some History classes at the local community college!!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!


BTW JFX, WTG on the Colonial and Large Cents!!!!

I hate excuses! LMAO! Bud, I am only pulling your metal detecting strings. You can at least find some coppas! LMMFAO!

 

[fd3615]

Just a side note from us west coasters...

have you seen the population in CA? Have you seen the development? Have you seen the sheer numbers of guys with detectors?..

I have found many sites that would be great places to search.. Most of them are under layers of concrete and steel.. And the ones that arent are State Historic Parks.. Its funny not even guys with whites detectors are allowed there..


LOL... had to let the fun continue..

Yes, I agree with you! I can and hope to find some large coppas here. That is more like it LOL

 

[treasureguy]

cay you say colonial, man someone knows where those cellar holes are, great job

 

[artemis moon]

Wow!! Those old coppas make my heart go badda boom, badda boom....absolutely beautiful!!

 

[Admiral de Salee]

i also always give a few coins to the landowner but most of the time they just say no you keep em you found em / just be honest with folks and doors open. most of the time(some due say no) respect that and just move on. but most folks around here are nice people and just say have at it. H/H-!

I ambush the owners with at least 20 bucks' worth of pizza coupons (gift certificates) from a local pizzarama.

As far as Coppers, Half-Cents, and LCs go, yeah, they're a hell of a lot more sparse in the former Northwest Territories.
It's like Stormtrooper said, but we're hopeful of a rare find. A DFX guy found a shot-through George penny down in Wayne.

I'D JUST LIKE TO FIND ONE! Forty is incredible, even for a former colony like NJ. Outstanding job!!

 

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Finds like these are definitely worth praising, bud! Right now, I'm commending your research with 40 continuous soft and hard fist claps.

You make every past New Jersian proud!

Keep up the great swinging, buddy!

What a beautiful pile of history!!

Any chance on closeups of some that have some detail left?
