    Second field hunt on the year... Ten old coins!!

    Hi guys..
    I got to get out for my second hunt of the year..
    I got out to check three spots.. The first two.. I didn't get squat..
    But the third spot produced pretty good... It was a spot that was a schoolhouse in the late 1800s and early 1900s but now is a soybean bean field... I walked in that field this morning with no coins in my pocket...
    But I left with Ten old coins..








    So it should go without saying I had a fun couple hours hunting that soybean field..
    Thanks for looking guys!!
    And HAPPY HUNTING!!

    Nice close up. I didn't realize the amount of Liberty that was left on the headband.
