very nice finds, how did you decide on that field? I'm still debating on which one to try and hit

Old maps, and once there find the highest point in the general area. Might only be a 10 foot rise but that's the norm in my area. They always built on higher ground. I am in Illinois so its basically flat ground, for the most part. Also look for glass shards, pieces of brick laying about.

I keep each sites finds separate and marked. Very interesting. Over the years I have started to come up with a good idea/picture, how the mid 1800s were in my area.

Nice LC Helix. I found my first of 2015 last week too. Looks like a lot of targets dug. Hopefully next time you go back some coins will show up too.

Yes this LC should clean up nice. Lots of targets at this site, agree with it being first time visit for couple hours I would say there is a strong chances more coins are hiding.

Gotta love hunting the fields. I start following the combines as they harvest, & don't stop until they start to plant again in the spring.
