Farm still produces

[sndman60]

Being as hungry as I am to dig on something (not to mention impatient), I went back to the farm on Sunday morning even though corn is still in the field. The owner and I sat at on the porch for a while and just talked. After visiting for a moment, I started detecting in the front yard. After a couple of hours digging iron and burned scrap metal I hit upon a very short but semi good signal ringing 76, 79, and 81 on the VDI. I could only pick it up using very short and slow swings. After digging through and under roots of various sizes and pulling a couple of broken bricks out of the way down at about 8-10 in I finally pulled a 1904 IH. Oh what sweet reward to feed my craving. After continuing to dig a few more trash items and getting a bit of clad in the same area I hit on another loud strong signal, but it was jumping from 28 to 36 to 44 and even as high as a 67. After digging through rock hard red dirt and down through some rich soil I managed to pull another fairly decent Eagle button at around 10-12 in. I did decide to quit while I was ahead. Thanks for reading and checking this out. Good luck and happy hunting to all.

Nice finds. You must have the patience of ten men.

Farms have to be one of the toughest to search. I hunted a few in Michigan and just about lost it with the amount of trash in the ground.
Lots of rusted iron, bolts and nuts, baling wire and the like.
