A little winter research paid off this last week . I have been studying an 1858 and an 1874 map of the county which shows schools and churches and located a school that I knew was a farm field now .Google earth helped me lock down the site and a County website and phone book helped me track down the owner . After giving permission , the farmer told me that his father bought the place during the depression and when he was young he remembered a silo on the site . He also said that his father told him that at one time they spread trash on the field but he didn't know why .
Anyhoo , I found this 1864 2 cent coin which is my oldest by 17 years . Also I found an 1898 V nickle , 1914 Barber dime , 1907 D Barber quarter , and three wheat's 1909 , 1925D and a 1909 . My buddies have found 1900 IH , 1944 merc , about seven wheat's 1920's $ 30's and a nice old token from the 1800's .
