Thought Id try last years cornfield.

[WHADIFIND]

Thought I'd try last year's cornfield.

Just felt like wandering in a great big open field today.

For those who remember, this cornfield was my first one. Somehow, in all those years, I just never had tried one.
So, I am a veritable newbie when it comes to hunting farm fields.

Had a pleasant surprise this year. They, somehow, almost leveled the ground. (I still have nightmares of stumbling around those cornstalks!!!)

They may have disked, I don't know. Anyway, it was a LOT easier walking. Still not a lot of finds but interesting and a nice day out.

Here's the take:






I can always count on a wide variety of ammo here.



Probably off a doorknob.



Some sort of wedge. Iron. Maybe a chisel, wedge for wood/door, baby hatchet?


1955 and toasty.



And, as always, the whatzitz.
Maybe lead solder? Strange shape. Looks like a broken off point to something.

Anyway, nice day.

Thanks for peeking!

Personally, I find detecting fields very relaxing!
But there's nothing more satisfying then walking away with a couple of keepers!

Nice bullet finds too,

Well, I enjoy looking no matter where. It's just that I was new to cornfields last year and wasn't prepared for how hard it can be. I was wiped when I finally got off that field the first time! LOL

It's better now but wow!

The bullets I'm finding here are kinda strange. I've found everything from musket balls on up. Mostly, I find those little things that look like a small can though. Not sure what they are but there's lots of 'em.



Like the little thing at the bottom next to my thumb.

Thanks!
