CELLAR HOLE with FORINO* NJ COPPER

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Mikey (Forino) is back home for good and he called me last night to see if we could get out.went to a cellar hole and worked it until it started raining.
some good targets at this site & we'll be back for sure!
a huge crotal bell broke at the bottom with a makers mark of OBO. a few clad coins a smaller crotal bell the mounted to a leather strap variety and at 1 inch a 79 VDI reading..expecting a memorial or wheatie this pops out.a most likely date of 1787 New Jersey colonial copper.

Another nice hunt, shame that the huge crotal bell is broken. I would love to dig one that size.

Great hunt that is a nice looking copper and one of the biggest Croatal bells I've ever seen.

Yeah, I gasped when i got to the last pic of the bell....i think because the rest of it is in such nice shape. Wish I could have been with you guys today, but hopefully in a few days.
