On this past Wednesday a group of four of us made it out to several different sites. We started out at a park clearing which was a bit of a bust, then we headed over to a soybean field for some old homesite hunting and then went over to an old beach on a small lake where the low water revealed some nice finds.
The park clearing yielded two wheat cents.
The bean field yielded only a few coins, an 1843 1 Pfenning coin, a wheat cent and a few clad coins and also some great relics and buttons.
Then the old beach was the big winner with everyone scoring silver: a Merc, a 1927 SLQ, a 1948 Washington, a Rosie and a Franklin Half, plus a number of wheats.
The day was capped off with some great company, food and beverage at a local watering hole, what a day!
Here are pictures of what I have pictures of so far.
