My cousin, his dad and myself went to a farm in Clarke County, Virginia on which my Uncle and grandparents live and my uncle works on this farm. My cousin and I have detected here 2 other times, but only detected the woods and a few other areas. Anyhow, my uncle told us after they cut the fields down that we could get in there before they plant seed for winter. So we give the first field a go and nothin'. Granted these fields are pretty large, but you can only do so much in one day. We venture into another field and I found part of a horse shoe(thought maybe I was onto something, nope!) My cousin did find a WW1/WW2 era style large coat size button next to the road. We then go to another field next to an old log cabin(supposedly old slave quarters) and up on the hill was another large home built I guess in the late 1800's. Right off the bat I found a clad dime(figures) and a zincoln lincoln. 
Then I found a flat button! Now I'm really onto something right? Well I didn't find anything else in it's general area. I zig zagged through the field and toward the middle of the field I found a key, kinda looks like a clock winding key, but not sure. I went on to find 5 more flat buttons.
It was kinda one of those days, ya know? lol Did a lot of walking in some BIG fields and didn't turn up much, but that's just apart of this hobby. You take the good with the bad. We were hoping to dig some Civil War relics because there was supposed to be a battle nearby. Maybe someday we'll get the courage and ask some of the surrounding farm owners if we can detect their property and give that a go. Thanks for looking guys and happy hunting.
