I got out Friday, Saturday. Sunday this weekend. Two different farms. First farm has been pounded to death by me. The second farm has been pounded by me and host of others
Not to much came at the first farm Friday. My second keg spigot from this farm and definitely the newest one I've ever found. I'm guessing circa 1900.
Saturday I visited the second farm. I was hunting some pastures near the old house, one of which I found a Flying Eagle and a Large Cent in last week. I only had a couple buttons and a fistful of foil when I got the nerve to ask the farmer if I could hunt his front yard. There were lots of coin signals, but I couldn't get anything earlier than a couple 1918 wheaties. I also got a 1947 Rosy. Here are Saturday's finds.
I also found a freak of nature. Good thing this pine cone didn't hit someone on the head
Today I went back to the same farm. My shoulder was hurting from the previous two days, so after I delivered a 30 pack of Michelob Ultra to farmer, I spent the first part of the day looking for arrowheads in plowed field. At least I didn't skunked....
After a couple hours looking for arrowheads, I went to the foil field where you can dig foil balls a foot deep
But my first hole was this. Turned to be a toasty Vermont copper.
Here is my total for today. I have no idea what the brass thing with hole in the center is, but it is old.
And finally, here what I found in my Easter basket
UPDATE:
Since making the post, my copper has been identified as a Vermont state copper. Here is a better pic.
