went to the field today. for a good 4 hours. found a few colonial buttons. then got a flying eagle cent. it is a 1858 one. then found some bird shot's. not bad for one area. there's like a 100 acre field still to go. i am gridding it pretty good. last time i found 4 halfpenny's. here's the pictures.

copper does not hold up good on these fields.
 
Keep on finding the coppers and soon will be some silver ,they survive the corrosive fertilizer much better .Exciting to find old coppers ,am I right? Great site!!!! :thumbsup:

Congrats on the flying eagle! Probably more at that site, still. Would love to see a pic of everything together that you found there.

Nice find man

They aren't easy to find. If your finding those your not leaving much behind. Looks like a nice field that had a home near by.
