I dug this 1787 New Jersey copper at a site that had dig marks all over it and yet it was missed. There also a lot of funny stuff this day which made for a great time all around.

Congrats on that NJ copper!! Good to see people posting from NH, those cellar holes are never fully pounded out. I found one the other day by a busy road that was hit very hard and had scars from past diggers, but managed a couple keepers...I'll post that later though. Good saves, HH :hello2:
 

Do in SJ will be interested in this, and so am I. Please post a pic of the obverse for identification of the variety. Thanks Hogge
 

nice find, and thanks for the video. I love seeing location shots because it's a confidence booster that when I hunt identical places that don't produce anything but garbage there might still be something good there!

It's in rough shape and hard to get a super clean close up picture. I know there is around 178 variations of this coin. Any clues?
