I found this old homestead site late last year by researching 1878 maps of my area. I hunted it last fall for a couple of weeks after the corn came off, but found it a major challenge swinging the coil due to the cornstalks. Not much was found at that time and I just knew this site must have more treasures yet to be found. I've been anxiously waiting for the soil to be turned, so when I drove by yesterday and saw this was done I hit it for 3hrs.
My first find was made within 5mins and it was an 1864 Indian Head Penny , after that the finds came fast a furious! When I got a solid 92 – 93 on the Deus, I just knew it had to be silver. All I could say when I flipped over the plug was… “Please let it be a Vickie”? Unfortunately, it turned out to be her great-grandson, a 1942 Quarter . All I can say is that, “Sometimes the ‘eyeball finds’ turn out to be almost as good as the detector finds” and this was certainly the case yesterday!
Thanks very much for looking,
Dave
