SD51, Any old field may contain coins.... they were cleared of trees, cleared of rocks, and plowed with ox for days and days... then the fields were worked for crops for years... people stop to smoke a pipe or grab something out of their pocket.... coin spill.... any work on the wagon, plow or any equiptment, was done in the field, while lying on the ground... there was always a house somewhere nearby too.... I find a lot of my large silver in fields....where no one else looks.. Basssmann
