I'm on some kind of token streak this year. I'm up to 35 or so, mostly from orchards and canneries in the county. Luckily I found some coins to go with the 15 orchard tokens I dug on Monday. At the same site I pulled a 1900 V nickel, 14 wheats, and 50 Centimes and 1/2 Franc coins (Swiss). The Swiss coins came in super low at about 12-06 on the CTX (foil range, about half as high as a nickel would be. Also found both in the same hole - always recheck! I put my plug back before I checked again so I would have missed it had I just moved on!
The first find of the day was also the oldest... a 1775 counterfeit King George III halfpenny. The obverse of this is basically obliterated, but the reverse isn't terrible. Two New Jersey coppers were pulled off of this site along with a couple of more modern silvers last year but there is a huge gap of about 100 years that we haven't found anything from yet! Lots of land to cover, so we're still hopeful!
