Pinebarrons I'm in Manahawkin and I have spots we can go also. I have researched South Jersey over 28 years. But I can't drive now do to a medical restriction.
Clamdigger do you hunt with a DFX? If so did you run into a guy hunting with a DFX at the lake in Manahawkin. That was me I was suggesting that you let me change your settings. I've been hunting for 28 years and can show you a lot of great techniques and areas. I hit Barnegat vary hard and have recovered a ton of coins and relics from Barnegat and Manahawkin. I just posted that wreath buckle in the what is it category last week. I took it out of Manahawkin with other relics and coins. I have a lot of machines including two Whites underwater machines. And I know were to find a lot of jewelry if you don't mind getting wet. Any one from around here that wants to go hunting or discuss sites feel free to send me a message. I just joined this forum and had no idea that there was so many people this close to me that wants to go hunting. I've worked the lake in Manahawkin hard these last two years so some one has to have seen me there. Not the beach but the RT.9 side. I have a canoe and I water detect this river "creek" every spring through summer leaving from a campground that I have a seasonal site in for 20 years. So I'll always be hunting somewhere.
It's a small world I even saw people from Manahawkin that posted before me. I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone hunting. I hope everyone doesn't think this area is hunted out because I'll make you guys upset that you didn't check this little old town out a little bit harder and I'm no where near done pulling relics and coins. Some one shoot me a message. Neil I didn't forget you. I'll set us up a good spot. I have to finish off this one site to see if I can recover the other half of that buckle I posted here and the DFXonly forum. So far I nailed three Indians, a V nickle, two Barber dimes, four mercs, one 1851 large cent, a silver washington, other buckles, old iron tools, two VERY old Eagle buttons different style and other goodies since I found the Wreath last week. All in the same spot trying to find the mate to the Wreath. And I have the other two sites I was hitting when I chanced accross the Wreath not really hunting. I was working on setting changes. In an old spot that I took one of the Rail Road tags from. I had one hell of a year this year.
