Yesterday afternoon I went back to the farm field where I got the half-cent and flying eagle. This field has two home sites on it, this time I focused more on the more recently torn down home. My guess is it was torn down in the late 60s, plenty of aluminum and the only good find I got was a 62 Rosie. I usually carry a small plastic coin container with water that I put silver coins in, when I got home the Rosie was froze in ice.
For the last 45min of the hunt I went back to the older home site in the field to see if I had missed anything. I got a few flat buttons and just as I was ready to throw in the towel I got a clear 11-40 and it turned out to be my first 2 center. She's an 1865 and does have some flake and condition issues but I'm very happy to cross it of my find list.
