I was out in the sun and wind today for about four hours of hunting. I spent allot of time with both farmers talking about each of their farms. The one farmhouse has a "circa 1800" sign on the front porch, the other has the 1773 date in the brickwork on the gable end of the house. I took a spin around each one along with a spin in the fields. I know both places have been hit (those old houses draw allot of guys in the last 50 years) Found a few keepers, 1885 Indian, 1944 wheat and a ball button
Enjoy the pix

Nice scores on some oldies. The ball button could be 1830's to 1840's military button. Cannonballguy checked mine out and provided this information for me. Looks like a nice sight for digging cool old stuff.:icon_thumright:
