Got permission yesterday for the field across the street from the gold coin field. I knew it had a circa 1730 home in it that was in ruins by 1979 and torn down soon after. I took the day off and spent most of the morning trying to find where it had been finally locating it around 11

Site is full of brick and is a carpet of iron and unfortunately has a lot of early 20th century contamination but at least no pulltabs:). There is also corn stubble so the hunting will be better next season when it will likely be rotated to soybeans. I think Ill be busy for awhile

Favorite finds were the toasty KG II, KG III, LC, early trapezoidal buckle fragment and the 1838 half dime. I keep knocking on the door of a capped bust but it wont let me in. Lol

Found the stuff in last photo at colonial site across street from my house. Seems like you can literally walk into any field around here and find old stuff

I would agree. That is gonna be a good site for you. Wide range on the dates of those finds, but several pretty early pieces like the buckle and the drilled shank button.
 

Very cool finds!!
 

jealous of you guys, so much rich history just lying around in the ground

If your referring to the drilled shank button in last photo, that came from across the street from my house. Its a early site too but not as productive
 

That looks like a great site. Congrats.
 

A fun hunt with awesome results.I like the half dime best.
 

You have some beautiful finds!!!! Very nice Half Dime!!! :occasion14:
 

I see a couple 17th century artifacts mixed in there so you definitely have an early site. Good luck!
 

Wow...LOTS of keepers! Congrats on a great day, was definitely worth playing hookie! Can't wait to see what else comes out of those spots...Ddf
 

Keep rocking it man. Love the oldies, especially the silver. Nice job!
 

Sweet finds, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

lots of good targets. Keep pounding that site
 

Well done on the site, liking the buckle and silver. Congrats, and all the best at having many enjoyable hrs of detecting down the road at this new permission.
 

Yep it's a good one. Congrats on the finds!!!
 

Toasted, Congrat's to you on a great hunt indeed. I really like the half dime and the buttons, all very nice relics. You are truly blessed to live and be able to hunt in an area so rich in history as you do. We look forward to seeing more of some great finds to come in upcoming hunts.:notworthy:
 

Great finds and that looks like it will be a honey hole for you!
 

Thanks all. I may have to dig a lot of junk but hopefully more early stuff will be revealed in the coming months. Should have till May until its planted
