My son took me to his new site last Saturday :)

This past Saturday my son took me to a new site he found earlier in the week. On his first hunt he found a 1655-58 French Liard (ID'd by Dr Phil Mossman) and a nice 1736 KGII Halfpenny.

On our trip, right away my son got a large copper, LOL< at first I thought it was another Indian Peace Medal but no, it was a 1797 KGIII Cartwheel, first one either of us had seen.
A little later in the hunt I got a counterfeit rotting pewter coin. Last time I got one of these it was a Bust Half Dollar, that disintagrated a bunch because I did not lacuer it upon getting home
This one I am not sure, we thought it was a counterfeit KGII halfpenny, but now not sure, not enough to see to ID. Other than GEORGVIS and possibly II, on the reverse I saw 17__

Within 3 feet of the pewter coin, I got a well worn copper that turned out to be with great eye strain a 1697 William III Halfpenny.
At a neighboring site got two Naval buttons and my son got a fattie IH 1864. Overall a great Saturday hunt for the two of us.

Winter?? Snow?? Frozen Ground??? What's that Don't seem to get that much here in the deep down South Jersey anymore.

You will do just fine once the mud season is over, another field of dreams might be awaiting you Bob!

Boy, sure wish my son shared my metal-detecting interest, like yours does with you! I'm jealous! HA! But, the last time I mentioned it, he said that he was bored with metal-detecting. I think it was because, when he went out with his Papaw, he never found anything good, like you and your son found. Best wishes for the future! If your son ever needs a god-father, I may just be able to help you find a volunteer! HA!
