Howdy all. Since the beginning of the new year, I have been working a lot of overtime. Last weekend was my normal three days off and whether that was going to be seasonably warm. Friday gave me a couple hours so I had to stay local. I decided to hit the field that gave me my first three ringers last year. This year I was surprised to see what was still in the ground. I was running in zero discrimination and digging it all. Once again I was pleased with my finds. When your plucking bullets from the civil war era and you get a nice quarter signal, well you can get a little excited. The same as last year it turned out to be a clad quarter. I'm happy that I have found some bullets but a little disappointed that I haven't found any buttons or anything else of the era. It seems a little odd to me.
Saturday we got a little rain but Sunday was going to be close to the 50's. My research has led me to a field where there was a tavern in the early 19th century, 1814-1815 ish. The field itself is around 120 acres. I had a spot I wanted to hit first. When I got there I started seeing the signs of a house or structure. Brick, glass and plenty of iron in the ground. I got at it and was plucking some buttons, other trinkets. Nothing too noteworthy. I did have a nice marble surface find and a gambling token. There were no coins found so I ventured out in different area's of the field to see if I could find other hot spots. No luck there either. On the way home I decided to stop at the field that put me in the 1800's club. Every time I stop here I leave with a coin or two. This time was no different and I walked out with 16 cents. Thanks for stopping by and reading my post. Best of luck on your hunts. SD
