Hit a few spots recently, one being a park that has been pounded. At the park I pulled 102 coins on Sunday including 7 Indians, a couple of buffalos, Merc, Roosie, silver ring and tiny silver heart. One of the Indians was a better date, 1868. Also pulled over 20 wheaties and a bunch of clad and memorials. Sometimes you have to dig through the clad and memorials to get to the better coins. I also pulled a flat button and old buckle from this park. Went with a friend who got permission to hunt a yard. Wasn't much, but I did find the silver Washington and war nickel, in the same hole. Finally, I went to colonial hill (more than 60 coppers have come out of this place) and after 2 hours of nothing pulled what's probably my nicest NJ out of the ground. It's a 1788 M.65-u for those interested. It's a rare variety, but nothing super rare. Much less toasted than the usual colonial I find. Also found a nickel sized flat button there. Also hit a nearby school and woods that have been pounded and pulled a Merc, Indian, flat button and this button sized piece with a star on it.
