Hello Everyone,

This is a wrap-up, of the last three farm hunts with the final (wet) hunt ending today. The sites gave up relics, coins, some I don’t knows, iron and of course junk. I did not show much of the junk, but did show a lot of things that are not really keepers. Each of the fields seem to have a “personality” of their own. Some had lots of junk with few keepers, while others had scarce targets, but were good when found. One of the three had been recently been turned over, while the other still had a ground cover of cut hay. Obviously, digging in the turned dirt was my choice, but you cannot always get the best hunting conditions. I’m just thankful the farmers said yes to my digging request.:hello2:

Funny, lately I have been finding a lot of monogram and ornate spoon handles in various farm locations...very cool. Lastly, the plow or my digger gave Miss Liberty (1894 O half) a shave. :BangHead:

Thanks for looking.

GL & HH

Hello Chizzy,

The seated is a 1877 and the Barber is a 1906, both are beaten up and worn.

Very nice hunt there. I see lots of big targets so I'm guessing there's a lot more there? ...Excellent!

What are the things in 3rd pic ( right side ,middle of pic ) Bands with plastic in it?

I was wondering the same thing...They remind me of the pieces I eyeball in the road & detect many times .
they look like the aluminum Clamps that hold together bundles of newspaper bags, in my area left behind my the people throwing those (local) Coupon & Sales papers . That many people let Rot in their driveways.

I guess they held bags for some farm use?

Cool other finds as well , I'd like to think the plow gave Ms Liberty a shave.
