I am glad we have had some rain to keep the farmers out of the fields for just a little longer, last weekend i got skunked for the first time on the old site that normally is constantly giving , the farmer tilled it and it went silent. But today went to the same field and it woke back up and I got a 1865 shielded, 1865 Indian, Classic head barely ID 1808-1814, then a Matron 1830, a few buttons , draw pulls, shoe tap, pewter spoons and handles, Parasol, and then hopped in the creek and found the milk glass and insulator patented May 2, 1893 in perfect condition.

Yeap, said that for some time. Whats bad for the farmers is good for us. I'm currently doing an area that oilseed rape failed.

Looks like a promising area for a silver - good luck.

Colonial Digger, how far from the Miss. River is the farm you are hunting? Is it right on the river or farther inland? Farmers here are having a few problems. They planted corn in the field behind my house several weeks ago. Too cold and wet. Corn never came up. Yesterday, they were planting it again. Farming would be a stressful job, not being able to control the weather. Gary

if that's an 1865 shield nickel you have something special, they didn't make them until 1866 :)
