Finally found a decent spot in the woods today. It's a popular spot for hunters, so it's full of shotgun shells and spent shell casings. But it's an old spot, so there's a few good coins hiding in there as well.
After digging up a dozen shell casings, my first good finds were 2 Buffs about a foot apart. A toasted 1923 and a toasted 1925. Then I found a really nice 1935 Merc about ten feet away from the Buffs. Good day so far!
Moved to another spot with fewer shells and I pulled out an 1807 draped bust large cent! Talk about a surprise! Rang up as a quarter, so I was hoping for a Barber. Not going to complain, though! It's really toasted, but I'm pretty sure it's from 1807.
Here's some pics of the coins and a sample of the endless shell casings that I found:
