Hey, zoysters, I was doing a little bit of research this afternoon on my new laptop, when I suddenly heard the phone ring. It was Paco and he enthusiastically said, "Hey, dude, Steppe said it would be OK if we did some relic hunting on his farm property!" KirkPA (Doyboy) and I took up the opportunity to spend the rest of the evening with our good detecting bud, Paco.
Well, we arrived at the site and, within the first five minutes of swinging my trusty Pro XL, I received a nice button with a shank. Paco glanced over at me and said, "Dude!" Then, Paco and I detected for another twenty minutes without anything to show for. I, being the semi-pro, decided to change my tactic by asking Paco, "Hey, bud, where did you find that Classic Head half cent a few months back?" Paco stated, "Right in that corner, man!" So, I ventured my way over to that area and was soon greeted with a nice mid-range tone that read at "Dime" on my analog meter. I instantly called for Paco and he swung his White's M6 over the hole and stated, "You might have another copper!"
Eventually, I dug down to the 6-inch depth, and noticed a medium-sized disc next to the hole. I instantly picked it up and rubbed the encrusted dirt off, and was introduced to a Classic Head half cent (the second one out of the same corner). After quickly taking off my headphones, I yelled,"Paco!" and performed a 360-degree spin in the air. Paco spastically ran over and congratulated me with many handshakes.
I later found three buttons, two musketballs, and a square nail. Paco found 6 buttons with shanks and two musketballs. Doyboy found a dateless Buffalo nickel at the other end of the field, which was the site of a one-room schoolhouse.
This field has yielded 25 buttons, two Classic Head half cents, and a Draped Bust cent.
