I've been having such an adventure hunting/swingin' in one of my favorite arrowhead fields :happydance01: It is such a neat feeling to be in the middle of 100 acres of plowed earth, the space and the freedom-from my 2 young sons rofl Seriously it is very therapeutic. I've been finding Native Am points and knives for years and have known there was a house on the top of the hill in the center of the field due to china, glass and brick debris. I've collected it over the years in a special tin with goal of making some stepping stones. I have also created a nice display of points that I hang on our family room wall.
So, I've finally been getting out there with my V3i and found this CW bullet
mg: Really surprised me! And 10 flat buttons! I'm determined to find a coin... going back out this afternoon for a few hours.
A funny story- I took my friend arrowhead hunting/md'ing there last spring (we only found a couple flat buttons and lots of square nails that trip). It was her first time in a plowed field and new to detecting and at one point she yelled out to me I found a buckle I said wooo hooo!
Then she said what does CSA stand for? :shocked03: I was like WHAT?! And then she cracked up laughing rofl She knows more than she lets on...
I haven't found a whole lot there yet because I only have a couple hours here and there, but thought I'd go ahead and share and maybe get some help getting a time period from these items. The property owner knows there was a cabin on the hill and thinks it was from early settlement -Lexington, Ky (1779). He told me there's rumor of nearby farm owner who kept his gold coins in a can along the old fence row near the new subdivision. Supposedly he had died suddenly and might be there. The old house is still there, so I plan to ask owners to look one day. :yes: The property owner said he lived in the house years ago and took one of those things (pointing at my detector) but couldn't find the gold.
Here's a pic of the field I took while driving by earlier this fall (waiting for the soybeans to be harvested)... :drool:
