Farmhouse & Beanfield Hunt - Bits and Pieces!

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Saturday morning I started out hunting this abandoned farmhouse but failed to make any interesting finds. This house has been empty for a number of years already, so the fact that finds were non-excistant was of no surprise. I then noticed the field behind the house was being harvested of its soybean crop, so I patiently waited for the Combine to empty it's load into the waiting dump truck. I then was able to chat with the farmer and got permission to detect the field after he was finished the harvest. I started by hunting the areas closest to the farmhouse, this is where I made most of the interesting finds. Not that the finds were that great, but at least they're interesting!

My finds for 6 hours were a horse bell, half a brass buckle and part of a 1950 dog license. It sure beat cutting the grass at home though!

Thanks for looking,
Dave

Yup it beats mowing the lawn, and it puts another location on the list to detect at in the future. It takes a few visits sometimes for a coin to show it's self, but in the meantime the relics keep it interesting.

I was concerned about that too J, no coin finds from a 6hr hunt! But it is a big field and as you mentioned, "it takes a few visits sometimes for a coin to show it's self".
Thanks for your post my friend!

But I really love is finding crotals bells, although horse bells like this one are nice too!

Best of luck to you,

I hear you RD!
There's only one thing prettier then a crotal bell in the hole and that's seeing a silver coin!
