There was a small piece of land amid my permissions that I have never had access to. I was finally invited to try it. First find was a beautiful Eagle I cuff in perfect shape. Then a general Service Eagle coat size button. Also nice. Then it dried up like someone turned a faucet off. I was finding tons of farm iron, but nothing period. This is about 25% of the iron I dug:
Worked my way to another corner of the property and thought I had another horseshoe when I found about half of a sword scabbard.
I was over the moon, and I covered the hole turned and walked five feet and THIS popped out of the next hole.
From then on, it was non-stop. 1854 Large cent, 2 cent piece, 2 war-date IHPs, another Eagle, a flat, a NY button, 2 sword hangers, a partial marked lead bar, bullets, various brass and iron buckles, a cartridge box finial, Harmonica pieces, melted lead, a fork in the same hole as the plate . . . MAN what a hunt. Best day in two years.
