Drove back home today from my excursion into New England to visit family and do some detecting.
It was a great trip. I scored three firsts - first 1/2 cent, first standing liberty quarter, and first walking liberty half. The 1/2 cent is also my new oldest find - 1804. I also wound up with a large cent (no date), a two cent piece (1864), 8 wheats, and some clad for a total of 79 coins worth $7.985.
The site that I hunted yesterday which gave up the half, large cent, and two cent piece did not give up anything this morning during a two hour hunt. The spot was a baseball field in a now empty manufacturing complex which was built on and around an old farm. I took some pics, I hope you like them. The first pic is a sign on the NY Thruway which just cracks me up.
All in all it was an amazing trip detecting wise. I can not imaging living in NE... it just seems like there are so many places to be hunted! I will certainly try to get back again sometime.
Happy hunting!
