Iโ€™ve been hunting an 1850-1950 farmstead site at lunch maybe 10 times in the last year. Every hunt is fun and a handful of old relics pop out plus wheats. 7 more wheats this week brings the total at this site to an even 2 dozen. Never a clad coin, never a nickel, never a silver coin, just a single 1900 IHP.

This site doesnโ€™t give up the 1800โ€™s stuff very often, mostly early 1900โ€™s. IDโ€™d as most likely 1950 Tootsie style toy.

This gave the highest VDI Iโ€™ve seen on the Nox.

Here is an 1800โ€™s CW era piece, my first shoe plate.

The handful (note looks like the shank was re-soldered on the flatbutton at some point)

Good luck out there!

I have a similar site. 15 wheats, 2 IHP, one LC, one shield nickle and a 2 cent. Not one silver. The LC, shield, 2cent and one IH were in the same hole.

Thx! This site was a relatively big farm operation before the Turnpike went right through it, now part of a park. Plenty of iffy signals, loads of iron and hundreds of shotgun shell-bullet casings. But enough keepers to entice me back hunt after hunt.
