This field keep producing some really cool stuff! Got out for a couple hours today and it started off extremely slow. Finding only a mangled old fork the plow must have hit. 10 minutes before calling it quits I pluck my 2nd 1940 wheatie in as many days. I thought to myself "at least I salvaged my hunt." As I was making my way back to the truck I came across a faint signal and thought about not even digging it but glad I did. Out came this beauty.

Good find. Finding a trophy in the hole you consider not digging changes things doesn't it. I've been there myself. HH congrats!!!
 
Great coin Butch!!:occasion14: I can confirm his "on the way back to the truck story" guys..We where both on our way to our cars when he dug the seated..Did you ever figure out what that other coin was you got yesterday?

Johnny I haven't had the time to really look at it yet but I know it isn't a coin. When I find out what it is Ill let you know.
 
Awesome coin! That's a small one.
