Just got things cleaned up for posting. Last Wednesday I hit an early site that has given up a 1675 Two Reale Cob, a 1785 Nova, a 1794 Liberty Cap LC an 1884 V nickel and a 1891-S Seated Dime. This place is littered with shell casings, but when you do dig a coin, it's usually good. First hole I dug was a well-worn KG2. Then pretty much nothing for the next 3 hours.
Friday I went to a couple early to mid 20th century spots. First place was in corn stubble, so I didn't stick around long., But I did pick up a couple pieces of petrified wood, which shows up in this field.
I spotted this piece that was brought up where they dug a hole for a new telephone pole as I was getting in my car to leave.
I finished up at a place where an old house burnt down in the 1960s. A guy I know has recently cleared the trees and underbrush. The house shows up on the 1867 map, but my brother and I have been finding mostly coins from the 1880s to 1960s here.
An Indian Head and 1920 penny fused together.
A couple of saw medallions from H. Disston & Sons. When I went to research the age, I found there is a website dating these medallions through the years.
the rest of the junk
