Farmfield Detecting

[doyboy]

RP and I decided to hit Ed's farmfield today. Once we pulled up to the site, we noticed that he had harvested around the edges of the field. We were excited to get at least one decent session in at this site. We decided to make our way to where a homestead once stood in the 1800s. It wasn't long before we were recovering some nice targets!

My finds:
- 3 musketballs
- 1 badly smashed 3-ringer bullet

RP's finds:
- 4 Indian Heads (1860, 1874, 1884, and a date-less)
- 3 musketballs
- 1 flat button

Zoyboy found a Flying Eagle cent today at one of his research spots. The site he researched was an 1800s hotel. It dated back to the late 1850s. He also found a brass bell.

doyboy, nice stuff you and your pals dug up! A couple of questions for you, though, and I assure you I'm not being flippant.

1) Why didn't YOU find any coins?
2) Is your detector set properly?

Sure, we all have days where we find relics and our hunting partners find coins. Whenever that happens to me, I always make sure that my settings are good and that they didn't get changed some how (through bouncing around in the truck or when my sleeve catches on the brain box of the detector).

Anyhow, those bullets are cool.

It wasn't meant to be, dude! I already found a 1786 Connecticut copper there this year.

No coins but the relics are great. I love the musket balls. Keep hitting that place it will give up more.

If I could find the stuff you guys find here in Kansas I would do the happy dance all the way to the east coast.

Thanks, detecting dudes, for the replies. I made my mind up to dig only 4-40 VDI numbers. So, that is why Paco found the Injuns. He must have been digging the 40-80 numbers.

It has been proven; Zoyboy digs them 30 VDIs.
