I've hunted old house sites around here till my back is screaming. Junk, relics, but no coins. I think these farmers were dirt poor back in the 1880's and had little money. I'm just about to sell my AT Pro and head to the coin shop. I guess that's where I have to go to find coins.
Yesterdays finds. Gary

Pretty sure that is a Civil war Heel Plate. That is a VERY cool find. Pretty sure they were only issued to soldiers. Google it. I have found 2 of them and love them.
Sorry, internet myth.:thumbsup:

@OP Keep at it, I only hunt farm fields, well 99% of the time, although its very different over here.
 

Nice heel plate save. Congrats
