Hi Michiganders,
I got out for a hunt Sunday to a harvested soybean field, former home site. I've been overdue for something good so was determined to hunt until I found something that made me really happy. (found my first Canadian LC at this site last year in the corn stubble) Started out with a nice rein terret that made me happy. Next a couple buttons, still just happy.![Roll Eyes ::) ::)](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
After a few hours got a good signal and popped out a silver disc that didn't look like a coin. Gently removing some dirt, I could make out an initial on it with a decorative border. It reminded me of a love token but it still looked like a button since it didn't appear flat.
On the reverse I eventually cleaned it enough to see Lady Liberty sitting down. My first love token...now I was extremely happy!
This one wasn't on the wish list yet, maybe the "dream list." The quarter is an 1856 and it appears the token was once part of a brooch. It's had a few hits from the plow but I'm not complaining.
I'll be gridding this site more for sure. I also decided I like soybean stubble MUCH better than corn stubble.![laughing7 :laughing7: :laughing7:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/laughing7.gif)
Gotta love the fields.
You don't always find a lot but when you do it can be worthwhile.
HH and thanks for looking,
Michiganne
p.s. Included a pic from a previous hunt a week earlier at the same field, different site....found my first clay marble which I thought was cool.![Smiley :) :)](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/smiley.gif)
