November 2nd - Last week I received permission to hunt a late 1800's farm. I picked up my cousin first thing in the morning traveled about 40 minutes to the site. It was windy and cold, glad I brought my heavy Carthart jacket. Met up with the owner and he told us we could detect anywhere we wanted including the yard. Spent most of the day in the front yard and had a pretty good day with a variety of coins and buttons.
- 178? Conn Copper (still figuring out the variety)
- 1808 LC
- 1864 Two Center
- (2) Mercs '41 & '44
- Washington '61
- Wheatie
- Buttons & Heart pendant
Looks like we will make the trip back there. The older Beers Maps show a house long gone in the corn field. Unfortunately the corn is still up or we would have checked that out too.
