went to a local field not far from where I recently moved to and started to see bits of brick and broken pieces of decorated plate scattered thru out,not long after getting there I get a solid 81 on my T2.up pops a small silver coin and after clearing off dirt was glad to see a 1837 half dime in super condition. next was a eye find,i saw something pink in the dirt so I picked it up and notice it was a very old gemstone with a hole drill thru it so its possibly from a very early necklace.the next find I have never seen this type of coinage,very strange markings,is it a piece of pirate coinage from the 1600's? also found a couple of arrowheads too.the river runs along this field and Indians and colonists populated this area. the field is being planted tomorrow so this area will have to wait until the fall again but what a great way to end my time there.
