Surprise! (No Pics)

Yesterday I went out to a newer soccer field just hoping to find a ring and/or some quarters. This park was probably built in the 80's sometime. The top half of the soccer field had very few signals but as I started toward the other half it seemed like i was in a dump! I got a good 25 VDI on my DFX and was hoping for a ring. About 3.5 inches down the nickle fell right out of the plug. I rubbed the mud off and saw stars! Then the date...1903! I did not expect that at all. Absolutely blew me away. It was my FIRST V nickle and my OLDEST coin found so far. I went back today and dug a bunch of quarters and some OLD iron. Also dug an old button with a design of a wreath around grapes. This park was built on what I would have guessed to be an empty farm field, but now I think I have found an old home site from the things I have found and the concentration of items in about a 40 yard radius. I think I may have a virgin site! I'll keep ya'll updated. Like it or not.

If you're into old iron...you might be right. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks cololel and Evolution! Went again for a half hour and found a tiny buckle, I'm guessing it is a boot buckle. D shaped, about 6 inches down. Surprised I heard it for how small and deep it was.
