I worked a new site all weekend! An old farm that is now a pine plantation. The farm was established in 1768. The pines are all about 6 inches in diameter now. The signals are far and few between! The photo represents 3, three hour sessions there and I have come away with 5 Keeper coins. The great part is I am not finding hardly any new junk ! In the 9 hours hunting it this weekend I found only 1 clad coin ! A zinc penny right on top of the ground. Not even a wheatie! Very few pull tabs!!! The first day I found 2 indians 1890 & 1902, The generel service button, and some of the other non ferrous junk, Day 2 I came away with another 1902 indian, and a surprise coin! I thought I had a large cent, which I expected this site to produce, It turned out to be an 1840 province of nova scotia half penny token! Plus some assorted junk, today I only got 1 coin 1890 V nickle in pretty good shape for Maine soil conditions !! I haven't even covered half of the planation yet so I will keep u posted ! MaineRelic.
