Soybean field hunt

Jyverb64 · Nov 1, 2012

I found this location on an 1853 map it showed a house in this field and all other maps after that show nothing. I started on the high point of the field near the road as there were many pieces of pottery and brick and it wasn't long before I started finding some good targets.

i worked a site this summer that a farmer told me about. he said it was a pasture until about ten years ago. they decided to plow it and noticed pieces of silverware. i found at least ten buttons and two large cents. they plowed it again this fall and i found three more buttons. i will be working it again next spring. h.h.

Now that is the fun stuff. Great finds. ....Does the one button ( pic 3 ) have a cannon and carriage on it?

The Artillery button is definately pre-civil war.

Are back in the field again? With all those buttons there should be a coin or two laying and waiting! Nice early eagle button, yes it's c.1820-1830 :icon_thumright:
