Gary(foundationhunter) and myself got permission to search a corn field behind a colonial home we could only put in 2 hours before it got dark because the homeowner didn't get home until 5pm.but he said we can come back anyday even if he's not home.come to find out there is a cellar hole beyond the far wall of the field and it's a huge center chimney site with so much open area all around it. guess where we'll be heading next
so hard swinging between the corn stalk stubs.i got a few keepers but not what i was expecting to pull. a 1906 barber dime,1923 buffalo nickel,a WWII army great seal button and a #1 crotal bell.
I was thinking about the 3 musketeers down in PA and had visions of coppers popping out of this field.
come to find out the owner gave some other guys permission to detect it previously.
Gary squeeked out a worn copper.idk if hes gonna be able to ID it or not looked toasted to me but we shall see.

Wow, a corn field that comes stock with it's own center chimney colonial hole lol What a find thumbsup01 Nice Barber and you have a lot of area to hunt now. Most of the coppers I have found in farmer's fields around here, take a beating from the fertilizers. But they are big, round, and copper, so I'll take them rofl I'm expecting to see some good finds from that hole Dave :eyebrow: :eyebrow: :eyebrow:

Dave with that field being in between two Colonial homes it will produce for you for a long time.Being a corn field it keeps getting turned over bringing new finds to the surface every year.

well the owner said it hasn't been turned over in years now.the guy who plants corn just re-plants every year. the cellar hole was a dud.nothing there.Gary pulled a Ct copper out of the field yesterday.very tough swinging between the stalks i tell ya.bump em and my machine falses.pretty aggravating :yes:

If he just keeps replanting he still will be turning up some ground.I would go back every year as long as you got the permission.
