I’m in NJ on a metal detecting vacation. Treblehunter has been kind enough to take me hunting for a couple of days. I sincerely appreciate his generousity.
Today’s hunt was an all star cast of TNet members, it included Smokey The Cat, Bartek & Scrappy. It was cold and windy, but I believe a good time was had by all. Some nice coins and relics appeared, and luckily today I found stuff, so I didn't look like a hack in front of everyone.
Today’s spots were farm fields. Really easy place to hunt.
I found my first trime today!
That alone would have made for a nice day. However, it got better. I stumbled across a nice high tone, deep but repeatable, I had a hole big enough for a basketball to fit in, by the time I was done. My efforts were rewarded with a thin grayish disc. I just knew it had to be Spanish silver! I rushed over to Bartek, and he confirmed that indeed I had just found my second ever Spanish real.
I accidentally found a fat IHC too, so here are all of the coins I dug today, a total of three.
Man am I tired, one more day in NJ, and I will retreat to the Shenandoah Valley, for a little rest and relaxation.
Thanks for looking, and good luck on your hunts!
