Hi all and hope this note finds you well. Hit some corn fields last week in a town near me with lots of history. About an hour into the hunt a truck pulls up and out pops an older guy who says he'd been detecting the fields for the last 20 years and has found some amazing things (Reales, a number of early LCs etc). Very friendly guy and I talked to him about a 1/2 hour. I already had permission for the fields so wasn't worried about anything, just was nice to talk to a fellow detectorist. He said he finds stuff in these fields every year and wished me luck before taking off. Well, wish I could show you some stellar relics, but this guy has cleaned these fields up quite well. I mostly found common fare - a few buttons (tombac, etc), an open topped thimble and old bottle tops - I always keep a few of those. Best find was a little GS CW cuff eagle one piece button. Homes were all gone on the 1871 map so probably an early variety. Thanks for looking and HH!
John
