We were out yesterday door knocking farmhouses when one of the farmers told us about a site in one of his fields that had a cabin on it in the 1830s. He had us follow him about a mile to the spot and told us to have at it.
Although the corn stalks were about a foot tall, we managed to detect there about three hours. From the first 5 minutes after getting there until the time we left, we steadily kept pulling out flat buttons. I dug an eagle button that still had silver on it that i'm 99% sure is an 1820s militia button. ( any opinions would be appreciated )
He is discing the field this week and we have permission to go back anytime. Noah had a nice total as well. we dug 15 between us!!
I dug theses at a farm house earlier in the day.
