Got a new permission from a local business that had an empty 5 acres field (pasture) next to them. Wasn't too sure if I would find anything worth while but there was an old farm house next to field and thought maybe that property belong to the farmers at one time long ago.. and my guess was correct, it was an old field.
Seemed that anything 2-6 inches was junk, anything 8 inches and deeper were goodies..
Found some buckles
A nice little crotal bell, I love finding these, and a first for me with a design
A couple pocket knives
1905 Indian Head Penny
A couple buttons and Military Fob, one button folded and the second I can't make out much but the words gilt and Orange
I have no idea what these are, the smaller one is convex, thought maybe it was a pewter/lead button but not sure, as the larger one, I'm not even going to try to guess, it the size of a silver dollar, seems to be pewter/lead.
And finally a couple silver goodies, 1907 Barber dime and what I thought was a silver bead, but after testing, found out its not.. junk jewelry.
Hope to get out there next weekend
