Hi all,
This site (corn field) is unlike any I frequent. I've spent many hours hunting there and have yet to find a large copper. I found a nice 2 cent piece a few weeks ago and MANY items from 1860 to 1930. The 7th fatty from this site was made into a washer of some sort. There is one area of the field that produced colonial cufflinks and an oxknob...but, there is a very specific history to this field....and it's not colonial.

Notes on this site-
1-not one modern coin, and only a few modern items.
2-glass shards and pottery all over
3-19th century nails everywhere.
4-field is 12 acres...odd size in these parts.
5-Dirt is the most mineralized I've ever encountered.
6-Best looking field coins I've ever seen around here.
The wheats are all 1920 or older except one late wheat found in the adjacent property. Oh, and NOT ONE SILVER! :needadrink:

Thanks!

Great job Drew. If you'd nabbed a 1904 you'd a had a straight flush! :lol: All I can think of on those holed coins is that someone or somebody was VERY bored back in the day. You are correct...those are some nice looking coins for a fertilized field.

Nice digs Drew. I bet that holed IHP was fabricated for a specific purpose.

Thank you gentlemen!
Yeah, Jeff, I bet they were amateur machinists.
