    Cornfield Shut off for 3 days, then it came back big - Copper Silver and more

    After finding that 1/2 Reale the cornfields shut right off.. Wed-Fri I went out for 3 or 4 hours at a time only finding 1 or 2 desirable finds.. I'm not going to show the insane amount of lead bullets I've found.. so over those 3 days managed to find 3 buttons, a musket ball and I don't know what the last item is on the bottom right of the photo. Either a coin or button, either way its safe to say it's toast.

    Today However, I went back to the cornfield for 7 hours.. and the cornfields finally came back alive. Again a lot of bullets, but first decent signal of the day was a 1844 Braided Hair LC, pretty wiped but I'll take it. Thimble, a part of a bracelet, a couple buttons, probably one of nicest square nails I've found out there, part of a shoe buckle, 1946 Silver Rosie and finally, my very last solid signal was a KGII, at least I think it is, again pretty worn, the reverse is totally smooth..

    It was a lot of swinging, but worth the effort..

    congrats on the coppers Scott , I don't think the one coin is a KGII , maybe a Connecticut copper or something else .

    These corn fields seem to have their days. Maybe the moisture? I'm glad you found the groove and scored!
