Made another trip back to my home town in South Jersey for a couple weeks and hit up my favorite creek I grew up playing around and hit some new spots I never hunted before and did pretty good. I guess I could metal detect every low tide for a year and never clean out this creek there is so much stuff to find and I really only spend 5-7 days a year and have to watch the tide, the full moon, make sure the weather is good. I can't go after hard rains and even had the kayak float a mile down the creek once and had to go find it 'my brother's kayak' or pay for a new one haha. The mosquito's are awful and the mud and water are nasty and lots of broken glass and even the stench of dead deer from CWD its no place for wimps. Some spots have a sand bar and all the goodies are buried under 8-10 inches of sand so one day I need to figure out a way to move tons of sand out off the bottom of the creek.. and with every trip I remove hundreds of iron ship building spikes where many large ships were built in the early to mid 1800,s and still find small coins and buttons hiding under iron spikes with every trip back. At one point I sat in one spot with only my pin pointer and picked up 76 lead sinkers in about 30 minutes while the tide was coming back up and also found a small silver nearby probably a 1R not sure yet I need to ID it. In my video I found a large round copper and its the 3rd one I've found with 3 initials stamped into it.
Thanks for stopping by ! HH

No shortage of targets for you.

That copper really survived the test of time. Congratulations

It certainly must hold some good value.
