Went out scouting a new field and it was a bomb, so I moved over to a site next door to it and started to dig iron.
This site has produced a few really nice keepers as tokens, GW Button, and few nice relics.
The down side there's iron and lots of it, though the sod is like cutting into butter with a hot knife so its easy for retrievals. 3 1/2 hrs of telegraph beeping going off I dug enough iron to say that's enough once again. Being 5 minutes away I can return another day to dig out more in the future.
I have been thinking about doing a lease on this site to set up a sifter and using the loader on the tractor do the whole site, as there's a 100' x 100' x 1' iron patch that has the old underneath the iron. So the only real nice piece was the rein guide, and one hand forged hook that I'll restore at a later date. Some old glass, part of pipe bowl, and bits.
Got a couple of The thick sheet has been cut, looks like what tomback button type of metal, and the other is a thick brass cone shaped piece.
And a little pile of iron.
