I drove past this field for year's and year's... Saw dozens of guy's detecting it, so I thought, it must be picked !!!! I did some research and found out that one end had a baseball field during the 1940 - thru - 2000... But, the best part was the far end.. it had a house there around 1830.... One end had the silver's, but, the far end had all the Indian's and the 1797 coin...

After 4 trips there.. I found my first 1700 coin, a Russian 2 Kopek.. A huge copper, made during the Russian empire from 1797 to 1801...
Also found during the 4 mornings there, were 7 silvers and 7 Indianheads... plus over 50 wheat's. I have a lot more to cover, so I'm hoping for some Barbers or a seated maybe...
