Fresh Cut Bean Field Produces Keepers!

[Bell-Two]

Saturday morning was a brisk but sunny day here in South West Ohio and drove out to the fields and was pleased to see a field I have permission on was cut, the bean stubble was a pleasing site since the corn last year in this field made swinging the coil more difficult. My first good signal was a 12-35 that was solid all the way around and I was pleased to see in the clump an edge of a coin.

As I suspected it was an Indian Head a decent conditioned 1907 a date I don’t believe I have dug before.

As sure as I was about the Indian Head that was how less sure of the next target, it was a very jumpy signal with multiple targets showing and only occasionally giving a repeating good TID but the tone was decent despite the ranging between 12-20, 12-17 and only one way would I get a consistent 12-12 so I dug it figuring shotgun head stamp or a lump of foil…or perhaps an old nickel. Well that is what it was an 1867 Shield Nickel…my first from a field though I have dug a couple before at an old park.

As usual in field hunts you get a lot of “partifacts” as well but you just got to dig ‘em!

I also like the "partifacts". Sometimes those corn stalks can make for a very tiring day.....

Congrats on the IH and shield nickel.

Interesting "partifacts" and coins as usual Tony congrats on the shield nickle and indian

[chief5709]

Nice finds! Love the partifacts! You might want to trademark that

[MangoAve]

Nice score Tony. A lot of people have been hitting the fields lately. I have one where it hasn't been cut yet (but it seems like it might be forgotten about) and some still have the dead corn for Halloween.

[Digger Don]

Great Hunt Tony. A shield nickel is still on my bucket list.
:congrats:

[Cheap Thrills]

Great finds and nice choices on the backround colors .

[BTV Digger]

Nice job again Tony. Always a good feeling to drive by one of the fields and see its been fully cut. Makes you want to stop right there and start hunting! Cut corn can be a wee bit troublesome from time to time, especially if some undergrowth got an early start in the spring. Congrats on the finds.
