I went back up north last weekend, and on Saturday I hit a lot I saw on the Sanborn maps that had a Chinese laundry in the 1800's. It was a bust, it had massive amounts of fill dirt. I was digging up plastic forks at 6" + and other modern trash with almost every target (all of which were modern junk). I moved back to the lot where I found a sweet gold religious medallion the weekend before and hunted it hard hoping to find more jewelry, but the best I could coax out of the field was a gold earring that looked like someone ran over it with a steam roller (it was smashed so thin, it broke in half in my pocket) and a 4H pin. I also dig a TON of pull-tabs and other trash. 
It's a BIG field , so there's more hunting to be done, and I'm sure there's more goodies awaiting discovery.
Sunday I went to an old swimming hole area I hit last summer and did OK at. There was an area where the cattails and weeds died down that I couldn't access last summer and started hunting there. First target was a 1945S wheat, great, that was the first wheat I found here. Second target was a 1940 wheat, cool, silver must be close by. It was all down hill from there....sinkers, zinkers, clad, but nothing good to be had. Oh well, it was nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful country.
