well I finally got out MD'ing after long layoff. The field that I
was excited about had grown back to 10-12" growth of
grass and assorted weeds. I decided to hunt it anyway
and concentrate on areas of lower areas of the field that
was used from 1800 onward.
It was not easy but my first good signal was a 186? Indian
head penny at about 6-7" down. On a hill leading to the bank
barn I found 1944, 1959D, 1940, 1952D, and 1910 wheaties.
Then a goose tag, old plumb bob, another tag that says
sterilized and made in NYC but has a "swastika" on it
?, and
what looks to be a spear head that came from the same hole
that junk was dug.
Towards the end of my hunt got a strong signal reading 10"
down. It turned out to be a Large Cent totally rusted out with
no identifiable markings. In the spring, part of this area is like a
swamp - very wet which is why the copper here is really spent.
It was very good to get back out with the old MD and dig
some more relics form the past. If there's any silver in this
field - it could be very old. Here's to hoping! HH!
