I almost didn't get up this morning. Just the night before, my friend and fellow metal detector hunter Neil, asked me to get up super early (early for me, on a sat 
) to do a saturday morning hunt with him and his friend Jason. I almost slept in, but after hitting snooze a few times, I decided to slap that rooster in the face! I hopped out of bed, got ready, kissed the wife goodbye, and off I went. Am I lucky I went....
It was like spring outside. Perfect blue skies for detecting in NJ. Neil picked me up and we went and met up with Jason. Jason had this spot he wanted us all to go to. He told us he had some luck with modern silver in this remote field, and wanted us all to gang hunt it and see what we could dig up.
After some really muddy backroads, we got to the field. We didn't take long to start our hunt.
About 10 minutes in I hit a 13-33 on my E-Trac. I had no idea what I was about to find. It was tiny tiny silver coin with III on it. What were the chances of finding one of these? Pretty good because... not one hour later, Neil finds another one!
Just when we thought it couldn't get any more bizzare or awesome... I find my second 3 cent piece not too far from the first one. Just amazing!
A handful of old buttons, fasterners and other relics were also found. 8)
Neil and I left early, and Jason stayed and treked on. From what I hear, he was lucky he stayed because he ended up finding a half-dime!
This is truly a field that deserves return visits, and our gratitude!
The 1851 3cent was found by Neil, the other 2 me. I wish I had a pic of the half dime Jason found, but I do not.

I'd be thrilled to come home with those finds in my pocket! All those finds are amazing and the III is still on my wish list! Looks like a perfect site to get to hunt too. Congrats!!
