Well as Bill already mentioned, we got out to follow-up on a new site. Unfortunately (as he mentioned) the key area was still basically 90% covered in crops (these pesky beans won't go away!).
To save the duplication, we did manage to finally find a nice feature and it seems to be fairly sizable at that. After researching we figured out why as potentially there might have been multiple (perhaps as many as 4) dwellings in that particular area of the field. I first recovered a button that slowed us down, then broken shoe buckle and then the day went in Bill's favor. I managed a button here and a stud there and finally managed a nice (though well worn and poor shape) 1793-96 Liberty capped large cent. You can make out the features of the bust and hat and that is about it. She was well used but still made the trip worth while for me. I managed 4 buttons (all early to mid 1800s) along with some other odds and ends.
What was also interesting is that my last button came on a different part of the property...perhaps telling of another site still to be explored.
I can't wait to get back!
