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

Sounds like you need to find yourself some new ground. Not such an easy thing, but it has worked for me. PS- Like your relics...they still count in my book.
 
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
