Hi all,
Got out and braved the cold to do a hunt in a nearby field that's been partially used as a community garden this past year. Most looks to have been let go wild mid season as most have not been harvested and has lots of weeds covering everything.
The old 1870s maps show a homestead next to this field, but that lot is now a newer church. Really glad I got out today as I found 2 Indians, an 1868 and an 1863 which is my first fatty. :notworthy:


Also found an odd one piece concave button with a partial shank. Pretty toasty though so unlikely to get an ID. I wanted to stay the day but the woman insisted she come along today and after 15 minutes decided she was cold and went back to the car. Only 45 minutes later she was bored so that ended the hunt.
