I went into the heart of the Pine Barrens this morning and since the detecting was not going well for various reasons I did get some shots off to show what the area is like, for miles and miles and miles.
This area was very active in the late 1700's thru the 1840's with the Iron Furnace's in the general area employing lots of laborer's.
Also, the one road was a main stagecoach road from the Philadelphia area to a seaport on the Jersey coast. I love this area in the fall, but in the summer the deer flies, the heat reflecting off the sand, lack of shade from pines, makes being there in 80-90* weather, not the most pleasant experience, but come this fall, I will be back there.
The lake in the photo has a breached dam breast from heavy rains over a decade ago from a hurricane. The coins found here are usually in good shape but not always, the goal is to find a colonial copper in the pure sugar sand, they come out almost like the day they were dropped.
The lake photo is three stitched together, the stitch did not go perfect but you get the idea.
