Lee came up to MA today and we hit up a farm here that in the past has been pretty good to everybody,until today. Sorry to say, no coppers, no IH's, but I did get a wheat(1953)...:lol:.

My best find would be the boot heel plate, think I have 5 now. The other smaller item I thought was a tombac button but upon closer examination I'm thinking just a head to a tack.

There are 200 acres to this farm so I am sure that there are other goodies to be had, just have to find them.

Thanks for reading and HH

Lee, thanks for coming up and keeping me company.

200 acres is a LOT of ground to hunt. I would be very pleased with that heal plate if I found it :thumbsup01:
 
I agree, that's a sweet heal plate. I hit some woods for a half hour yesterday, still snow in most parts, and as I said in Jeff's thread, I HAD A TICK ON ME! I guess we only have two seasons now....Winter and Tick season. Glad you got out with Lee.
 
I agree with everyone you found a very nice heel plate Al and the other item reminds me of a broken copper rivet found on horse leather harnesses.
 
That heel plate is great, Al! That's something we don't find here in the Midwest. I have never found a single one. To me that is an exotic find!

I agree with del that the small round object looks like a broken rivet. Those we definitely DO find here in the Midwest. :thumbsup01:
 
I'd agree, very nice heel plate. Plenty more land to detect at that property. It's great that you were able to get out with Lee.
 
Nice heel plate. Idk if acreage matters or not. Obvi more land means the person plowing the field spent more time in the fields with labor, but more land could mean finds are just more spread out. Who's gonna be the scientist to prove which is correct? Lol. Good luck tho. If I remember, there were two coppers pulled from those fields.
