8 1/2 cents from the bean field

Got permission last night for a couple field sites, and had today off work, so you know what I was gonna do! Found the first site and was walking into field got a nickel signal, was a piece of lead, second signal, same thing a solid nickel signal, this one however was a 1867 shield nickel....sweet way to start the day! After that I dug every nickel signal, and they were ALL lead, bummer! I found a cool butt plate from a muzzle loader, gave a screaming signal, was hoping for silver, but I will take a cool relic anytime! Got the half cent token and thought it was a LC, it is toast, but still cool to find. The indian was great shape too, 1881.

I included my junk pile to show you everything I dug, I dig every solid signal above iron in the field. Broken bells, scraps of brass, copper, shotgun shells, and lots of lead!

On the way to the car, I got a nice 12-41 signal, looked down and saw a green disk peeking out of the bean stubble, bent over and just picked it up.........awesome shape 1864 2 center!!! It would be mint if it wasn't for those irritating verdigris bumps! So 1867 shield nickel, 1864 two center, 1881 indian, and a toasted NO date HALF penny token, for a total of 8 1/2 cents!

I'd say it was a successful day OFF WORK.....lol
