Boy I am glad that the farmers are starting to harvest the corn and beans. I went out Thursday and found a site on one of my new permissions. Spent about an hour and a half there seeing what may be found and came up with a few finds. A wheat cent lying on top of the ground was followed by a nice large Crotal Bell that unfortunately had the top part missing.
Then I found a couple of buckles and some other “partifacts” that are typical of farm fields. Here are some from all the fields.
The third field I hunted is one of the most difficult I have in my permissions, not a large site but extremely iron filled. Every good high tone whether trash or treasure is surrounded by iron grunts. Last year it was in corn making it all the more difficult as the remaining stalks were still quite high so you had to work around them. This year the beans are cut quite closely to the ground allowing for an easier swing. This field gave up the three best finds of the day. A button was the first thing I found, quite corroded and only with some CLR treatment and then a soft brass brush did the elegant design show through a bit.
Another interesting find was my first Cracker Jack Mystery Club Token, this one is George Washington. It looks like it suffered greatly but I still like it.
The prize of the day was a complete surprise to me, I never thought about finding this type of coin here in Southern Ohio. I have seen these dug by Michigan detectorist and others in the Northern tier of the country so to say I am pleased is a mild statement. It is a Queen Victoria silver 5 cents piece. They are known as “fish scales” due to their small size. Very similar in size to our half dime!
