Metal detecting old farm sites//
Sitting about stoking the fire and waiting for warmer temps.
Reading all the posts from warmer areas, I am amaised at the finds out in corn fields, pastures etc:
Why are the coins there ??
From my studies of colonial America our forefathers were VERY conservative of everything and coins lost in the field would be alarming to them//.
My Grandfather kept his change in a clasp purse // His father probably worked all day for $.50. Dropping a quarter would be like me loosing a $100.00 bill/// yet WE detect the old stuff everyday// Very strange /// any comments ?? Perry
