First Field hunt and my first Shield Nickle and a nice LC

[Jyverb64]

Went back to a field I've hunted before but this year it's soybeans instead of corn like the last 2 years and it was well worth it. I got a solid nickle signal about a 1/2 an hour after getting there and after rinsing it off I could see the date 1870, my first shield nickle and also the newest coin that I've dug from that field. I dug a tomback button and a couple other buttons and then towards the end of the hunt I got a signal bouncing between a penny and a dime I figured it might be another button but when I flipped the dirt over I could see the spot where the coin was and the LC laying there an 1828 and not in to bad of shape coming from the field.

It's always a good day when you find a first and than top it off with a LC.

It's amazing how much more ground you can cover than when the corn stalks are there.

What is the item in the middle pic at the bottom? I haven't had the chance to hunt a soybean field yet, but I can imagine how much nicer than trying to avoid the corn stubble it has to be.

A couple of Classic obsolete American coins there for sure !

Those coins look great for coming out of a field.
