Pending permission on a 1870 farm

[GunnarMN]

I looked up an old farm stead . but could not get the guys phone number , but by chance i met him today wile detecting at another spot- Lord knows I need help . he was a nice old farmer and told me of some spots, and will get back to me , and i gave him my detecting card, Most farms started after 1862 with the homstead act and by 1880 75% of farms whent into place. but theise guy where poor but they had a few good years like the post cival war when crop prices were high, and the bootleg days and the 40s 50,s

I've found that most homesteads will usually produce at least a few Indian Head cents and a trade token or two. Silver's a different story though. Maybe one out of three produce any silver coins. Good luck with your new site. Hope it produces silver for you.

Congratulations Gunnar,

...You are on the right track to better finds, some of my best relics and some old coins too, have come from old homesteads/farm steads. I will be working on some old farms soon, I will be driving a wheat truck this harvest. You might offer to help the farmer then maybe with some good deeds...... good blessings will come your way. Hope it works out for you.
