This weekend's mission was to try and get on someone's 1700's lawn, and/or a recently cleared property probably ripe with old goodies. I got double-disappointed. The cleared property fail was a bit of a surprise, and a bummer as it looks to be getting developed soon.
So, headed out for the ol' walls in the woods strategy again. Fields this time from my occasional scores. A couple ox shoes, tack ring (?), other metal farming bits, and a few shotgun shells. If it gave a +VDI, it got dug.
Got in the back corner of one and started hearing more iron bits in a small area. 1'st target rang up a nice 49-50 VDI, and got my prize for the day. Nice domed button about 7/8" in diameter. Thought it was the top of a 2 piece until I got the dirt out of it at home and see where the shank was. Beat up that area for a while and also managed the handle of a pewter spoon I believe.
Wandered around some more, but only managed a bit of lead near a wall. The place has been hit to death, so glad I got what I did. Best find in a while for me, and a fantastic day to be outside. Got tomorrow and Monday off too. Hopefully I can find someplace with more goodies.
