hunted a field where a church stood from 1870-1960 GOOD DAY!

[Goes4ever]

Brad and I hunted a beanfield where a church stood from 1870-1960 and boy did this site produce!!!

Brad managed to find 3 wheats, a 1905 IHC and a 1946 silver rosie

I found a 1910 wheat, 1888 IHC, 2 merc dimes 1941, 1942, and a 1919 buffalo. The wheat and indian are destroyed from years of crop fertilizer, but the buff and silvers look superb! Best day in a long for both of us!

I made a video and am uploading it on youtube right now. We are planning to go back there next weekend to go over more of the area we did not get, it is a large area and we simply ran out of time!

here is a pic of all our finds for the day

here is a pic of just my coins

Way to go! You were right about the "good day". I am so glad spring is almost here, hunting will definately get easier.

I only wish the fertilizer farmers use on crops wasn't so harsh on coppers, it toasted the indians/wheats, not sure why it did not affect the buffalo

Sweet finds!!! How did you clean the nickel????

 

[Goes4ever]

on that nickel, I just used soap/water, normally I use vinegar and salt, but it tends to make you lose a bit of detail, and this one had such good detail I hated to lose any

Get video, I'd say your research paid off.Finds cleaned up nice.
