We went out to a new field Sunday that has three sites on it, found two of them. Both of these are close to the road so junk was a problem. First site was obvious you could see the bricks and glass from the road. The crew, Doug, Malachi, Diane, Paul and me were joined by Paul's brother Bill. The first site gave me a buckle, button and a wheatie 1941! Bill got 4 wheats, all from the 40's. Malachi got a buckle and that was about it. Paul had ventured off and he located the second site which entailed a walk of about a half mile. We hit this site and Paul pulled an 1881 Indian. I then got a good 12-44 and at about 5 I popped out a clod of dirt in which I could see a green edge, thinking it was a wheat I broke open the clod and realized it was much bigger than a wheat and it turned out to be an 1869 Two Cent piece! A bit later I got a 12-35 that was not too deep but the target was difficult to find in the sticky clay muck, finally a blob of dirt stuck to the end of my pin pointer so I knew I had it. Doug came over to watch as I took bits off the pin pointer and found a dark green disc at first I could not tell what it was but Doug said it's an Indian and it turned out to be a very good date 1874!
We took a break to help a lady who was slowly driving down the road with a flat tire, I waved her down and found out she had a spare. So Doug and Paul quickly jumped on it and we got it changed for her, it was good we were there for this is a very lightly traveled country road and she could not have made it much further on the shredded front tire. We decided to call it a day on this note.
