Hello fellow diggers-

I was up at my brothers Strawberry farm in Pa for 3 days August 13-15 helping him with mowing and weeding. His farm is a circa 1774 homestead. And although I have yet to dig some Spanish silver or an old colonial copper at his farm, I was able to recover 4 mercs over the last 3 days. 1919, 1927, 1929, 1940. I also dug a dateless Buffalo nickel and a 1918 wheatie.

The strawberry farm dates to the early 1930s. HH

:icon_scratch:

hmmm , layers of lost items after 225+ years of habitation , usually large cents will be an easier dig than a buffalo nickel ,

lc's and buttons are typical first digs at abandoned 200 year old home sites , that's all I hunt . Keep hitting that spot , sooner or later ,, old stuff :laughing7:
