My first New Jersey Copper from the orchard !

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

This morning I was asked what I wanted to do for Fathers Day. Metal Detect of course..... A kiss on the cheek and wishes of vast treasure and I was gone.
I have been waiting for the farmer to finish mowing the top fields on his property. Now that they are done I have about 10 acres more to hunt. The hits are few and far between but the finds are old. My last visit to this field gave me a musket ball, strap end and two large flat buttons. Todays hunt only gave me one keeper. Looks like a New Jersey Copper! She is pretty toasty but enough remains to ID.
On my hike to the field I saw a little deer in the grass. He stayed still long enough for two pics and a vidio clip

Cute fawn, well congrats on your first NJ, shame it is eaten up so badly, but the good news is, your copper if found in Vermont is the first one from the state in my survey and I have been doing this survey by state and county on NJ coppers for several years now. Would you please PM me the county/state found in for my survey?

Looks like a 1787

So what you are saying is that a NJ Copper is an unusual find for Vermont? I hope so..... It makes the find that much more special

I'd take one like that just so it could finally be crossed off the list. Several friends have dug em but not me.
