    Recent Farm Field Finds

    I have open permissions at several area farm fields where houses used to stand and I had been detecting those for the past few weeks before the crops got too tall. Most of the finds are from the 20th century though. The search continues for that early/mid 1800s farm house site!

    I'm pretty sure it's 1927. Or could it be 1923?

    A little bit of silver and a buffalo nickel in the pile! Looks like a good assortment of goodies, Tony. Glad to see you digging that iron also! Interesting horseshoe. A little bit of spit and polish and I think those forks will look just fine in the silverware drawer!

    I think that is a 1927. I believe the 3 is not pointed.

    A bit of everything, Tony! Mule shoes are rare! What do they plant there?

    It's a mule shoe? I had no idea.

    They alternate yearly between corn and soybeans. The corn is about 2 feet tall now. The beans are still pretty short but only one of the fields is planted with beans this year. I could probably still detect it since the beans are still less than 6" tall.
