3 Silver Ladies - One is a "Walkin" & Two are a "Flyin"

[Trezurehunter]

I was finally able to get to a field where there was a schoolhouse in 1870. As you can see by the pics, it was a pretty good 4 hour outing. It had rained the night before, so it was really a muddy mess, but the hunt must go on ! The 1943 Miss Walking Liberty showed up first, followed by the 2 Wheats, an 1873 and 1906 Indians. I also made a few surface finds with the 2 Marbles. The white one is a "shooter" clay marble. I have only found 1 other clay marble this big, & it was the typical orange color. All the rest that I have found are the smaller average sized marbles. The next 2 victims under my coil were the 1920 & 1943 Mercs. The hunt was finished off with the 1920 watch fob which reads " J.I. Case plow works Racine Wis." , and the little girls barrett. This was a harvested Bean field, & I'm hoping Mr. Farmer Guy comes back out to disc it over. I'm sure if I found all these goodies in 4 hours, there are going to be a few more items out there. 5 lbs. of mud on each boot, and the hunt was over, but it was well worth it.

I like those finds. Sounds like it was a good site to swing the coil.

What I wouldn't give for a multiple silver hunt. Nice work. I've been working a small circa 1855 church in an area less than .25 acres. Countless early wheats and 17 Indians but only one period silver

SWR, If your talking about the Walker, you just have to dig. If your talking about the marble, then you just have to look on the surface while your digging the walker !

[Scrappy]

Nice silvers. We should start calling mercs flying ladies lol.

Sounds like you have a great permission... And being a field, it should be a forever permission, given it isn't planted... I'm studying to find myself a field that could have some stuff in it...Great harvest!!

Heck yeah I would say it was well worth it. Great hunt there.

I got a tip from a lady whose house I metal detected about a soy bean field near her house that at one time she said had an old school on it. I have the name of the owner of the field and her address (PO Box) but have not been able to get a phone number for her. The field has not been harvested yet for some odd reason. She said the old school house was torn down back in the 60s and has been farmed ever since. If her information is accurate, and I can get permission might be a good spot like yours. Congrats on some very pretty silvers.
