Hello Everyone,
Day four in the pounded muddy farm field gives a few more goodies. The snow is 85% gone in the field, so I decided to work off the left rear side of the once standing home. Today, I used a spiral technique “off” the approximate edge of the house foundation. A flag was placed at the location (adding as I go) and I moved extremely slowly throughout the heavy blanket of iron. My “weapon of choice was the AT Pro with the sniper coil with a bit of discrimination, iron audio = ON with sensitivity down two bars (trying not to anger the iron). I worked the area for 2 ½ hours before the symphony of iron sounds convinced me to call it a day. I did manage to pull a few keepers from the ground between 15’ — 30’ markers, which makes sense the way the home was situated.
The finds were: 1901 Barber Dime, 1901 Indian Head Cent, two nice Flat Buttons and three bullets. I didn’t dig too much iron, but it was there for the digging; maybe tomorrow!
Thank you for looking.

I'm like you, I leave the iron for others to dig most of the time.
