Incredible Finds! NJ State Copper, KGII, Matron LC and tons of relics! Pic heavy.

AndrewCNJ · Apr 27, 2015

Hit the fields hard this weekend. Friday night, Saturday with fellow forum member Chad, and Sunday all day. My shoulder and back are in serious pain.

The NJ State Copper has been at the top of my list - and I finally got one! It's in decent shape and it appears to be 1786. Amazing! Now I can retire.

Also noteworthy is a King George II copper, looks to be 1747. And a very nice 1826 Matron head large cent. Also, one toasted copper with no detail.

Buttons, buttons, buttons. There's a tiny silver button that has a beautiful star pattern on the front. A frilled coat button. Some lead shot, ringed bullets. Old utensils, buckles, piece of a silver plated spoon or fork with some initials engraved.

Two Indian heads (one is 1864) and three wheats. A few random relics as well.

Also an aluminum? 1957 First Bank token from Freehold, NJ lol

Thanks for looking! I am exhausted! HH

in the first pic, center left, 2 items above the buckle, is that a gear from a watch/clock?

The circular item? I have no idea lol at first I thought it was a cleat or spike from a golf shoe because there are three protrusions/pins on the back but on closer inspection it has some age to it. Any input would be helpful because I have no clue - could be a gear.

Sometimes it's worth worth all the pain and hurt of the hunt. Congrats on your dream find in the Jersey Copper and some very impressive recoveries. Jack

Thank you all! It was well worth the pain - the NJ copper is now one of the gems of my collection.

I hear you on the pain,
I thought I had found a NJ once, but turned out to be a conder token, since found a couple more of those.
The cuff link button is a nice find.

Oh yeah, congrats on the retirement. :grin:

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the comments and thanks for looking!

I just purchased an Attack coil for my ATP so there will hopefully be more silver next time! Going back to search for those deep Reales!
