To the Superb People at White's, My hunting buddies (Chris, Kyle, Robert) and I decided to hit a 1700s Grist mill site one Sunday morning. The weather was superb and the ground was finally thawed! This field has already produced a lot old coins in the past (Colonials, Two-centers, Spanish silver, etc.). Within the 1st five minutes of detecting, I plucked out my 1st Colonial copper of the year. It turned out to be a 1787 New Jersey Post-Colonial! It definitely was a thrill to find. It was recovered in an iron-infested area at a depth of 3.5". I use the 4 X 6 DD coil with my Pro XL and it definitely made the signal "decent" enough to dig. By the way, this copper is only my second coin of the year (1770s Spanish half reale + 1787 New Jersey copper)! Our style is one in which we mainly hunt for pre-1850 coins. I think this year is going to be a "good" one. Thanks, White's, for your "outstanding" products! Kirk (PA) |
