Hi all,
This site (corn field) is unlike any I frequent. I've spent many hours hunting there and have yet to find a large copper. I found a nice 2 cent piece a few weeks ago and MANY items from 1860 to 1930. The 7th fatty from this site was made into a washer of some sort. There is one area of the field that produced colonial cufflinks and an oxknob...but, there is a very specific history to this field....and it's not colonial.
Notes on this site-
1-not one modern coin, and only a few modern items.
2-glass shards and pottery all over
3-19th century nails everywhere.
4-field is 12 acres...odd size in these parts.
5-Dirt is the most mineralized I've ever encountered.
6-Best looking field coins I've ever seen around here.
The wheats are all 1920 or older except one late wheat found in the adjacent property. Oh, and NOT ONE SILVER!
Thanks!

All I can think of on those holed coins is that someone or somebody was VERY bored back in the day. You are correct...those are some nice looking coins for a fertilized field.
