If you count Chinese coins! :grin: I have been busy detecting and finding keepers but no single hunt has been very post-able.....a copper here, a copper there These are this week's highlights. The Jefferson was a few weeks ago.

My 10th Ox knob on the year (starting to hate their seductive siren song lol)
2 of many tombacs
2nd 2 cent piece on the year (1865)
One of many musket balls
Thomas Jefferson Token, My favorite Pres
1816 Matron
Chinese Coin or Token, was in a super old colonial place, 6in :dontknow:

I hope you are all having fun this summer, Drew

Nice assortment Drew.

What type of location did the Chinese coin come from? I thought those would only be out west....

Brian, I read that there was a currency shortage in the colonies ...so they used whatever silver or copper they could get their hands on. I think this one is from 1730s to 1790s. Found near one of the first settlements in my area, 6 in deep, out in the wooded fields across the road from the hole.
Thanks everyone, Drew

Thanks all. Thanks for the link Dan, I'll check it out. Nice guy George to offer the target. You ever decide not to dig a fringe target only to show it to George and he dug it? or visa versa?
