Got on a permission down the street from my house. The house was built in the early 1900s. Five minutes in I nailed a merc...five minutes after that a 1856 LC.

Wrapped it up after about an hour. Managed another Merc, an 1885 IHP, some costume jewelry, and a makeup compact ca. 1920-1930

Congratulations on a fine hunt. Thank you for sharing.
 
If you found all that in an hour, don't know how much yard you have left but that could be one awesome permission- Congrats!!

I hit about a quarter of the yard. Didn't want to blow it all in one trip so I forced myself to leave some for next time!
 
Very good hunt. Nice largie
 
Great finds for such a short hunt. Can't wait to see what else you pull from that yard. Congrats!
 
Those are some nice digs Murray, :thumbsup: I need a 4 keeper coin hunt real soon. Thanks for posting, it's more motivation for me to do some cold knocking in the morning.
 
Great digs. So much of metro NJ has been built over older use land. That seems like the case with that LC. That coin didn't circulate past 1857.
