we recently got turned onto another home site in the same field as the 1833 cabin site that we have been hunting.
I went out Easter Sunday for a few hours and dug a crusty 1856 Largie

I went back after work the next day with my son Alec.
I dug another one, this time an 1848. And a few buttons

Alec dug an 1842 Bank of Montreal Half Penny, an 1868 Indian and a few buttons Not bad for an hour and a half hunt!!

Such a great area, Don! Are you getting good depth? Sometimes I struggle on corn fields with falsing and finding the right combination for any depth. I think it's the years of fertilization but I don't know. I hope there is more area for you guys. Say hi to Alec. When I met him he was learning to drive :lol:
 
Wonderful finds, Don! These fields are really paying off for you. The possibilities are very intriguing. You could find some sweet bucket list items.

I found one of those Half Penny bank tokens in 2014 while hunting with Daddy Digger.

Those are some great finds! Not often do we see those big coppers in the Midwest, not to mention Canadian. I got lucky once and found a Canukian largie and half cent in the most unexpected of places (grass strip in town along a railroad track) so you just never know. Bet there's a lot more to be found there!
