The Bean field gives up a seated halfdime and more.

Greetings friends.
The corn is getting so high the corn field sites will have to wait until after the harvest so
I went back and pounded the bean field this week Where the 1870 farmstead was.
I got lucky and found some good targets. Hope you enjoy the pics.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

Nice sweet site, awesome digs, it must have been a long time between finds. What did that halfdime sound like or ring in as, maybe you have a VDI number ?

Keep @ it and HH!!

"Pounded the bean field" is right! Excellent finds....the detail on the seated dime is very nice. Great pics as usual.

Keep digging!

Merf, you have some awsome sites. It looks like you knocked the socks off of them again this time. Really nice coins, and a sweet button to boot.

You better spend some more time out in that bean field. I would love to find a 2 cent piece. Good for you. Hope you find many more. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike :thumbsup: No troop activity that I know of.

Hey Merf. Very sweet and lucky. ;D ;D

Don and I got our own cornfield here in Ohio. Circa 1820's :thumbsup: Like you the cornfield will have to wait. We tried around the house today but the dirt had all been redone and we didn't find much other than beer cans at 6". :P
