Hi all,
Earlier this year i was out taking a joy ride with my family one day going everywhere, just looking around. We stumbled upon this and I nearly wet my pants that day!!
I got back out there today and got permission from the owner which was a great guy by the way. It Took a while to find someone though, the guy that owns it has mad property, and i had to drive around a bit to find him to get permission. This place hasn't been hunted much. It's out in the middle of nowhere and i mean NOWHERE....If your not from around this area where it was then you have no clue it's there. The first target was the suspender clip, i also found the top of a old flag pole which has cool designs on it but it's broken. After about a half hour i ran into my first coin. A wheatback with the date of 1930. I then started seeing lots of broken depression glass bits around. Wish i could find a whole depression glass piece i love the look of them. I then started plucking indians, 1904, 1905, 1907, 1898. All in about a 10 foot area i will come back without the super 12 next time and take my time. I can assure u there's a barber or two just in that 10 foot area. There was much iron.
After about a hour and a half i ended up with just the 5 coppers. but there is much more to be found here and you can bet i'll back this weekend.
The barbers are calling and i need a haircut :P
Take care,
Mac

Mike is right on the year after year thing I hunt a field where there use to be a house and still find stuff, I wish they'd give it a good plowing once, all they ever do is disc it.
