Last two day I was hunting the harvested bean fields. Friday I hit a field I hit last yr, wanted to go back because it was corn last year, didn't get a lot, but didn't expect much since I already hunted it pretty hard before. Found a thimble, the decorative leaf piece, lipstick tube, a button, a busted crotal bell and lastly a 1941 merc. The indian came from the day before at a farm house.
Saturday I hit a virgin "to me" bean field. First coin of the day was within 30 min of being there and it was the ONLY coin the entire day, and I hunted from 830am to 130pm. BUT I am not complaining, it was a real nice 1855 half dime!!!! It is only my second half dime in 6 yrs, these lil guys don't show up much around here. I guess I did find another coin kinda....it was one of those Chinese coins, it was broke in 3 pieces, part was on top the ground, the other 2 pieces were bout 2" deep, had to stick in in a coin flip to hold it together, I know nothing about them, no idea how old it is?
This field had very little targets for being virgin, I found the large brass front door piece, thought that was really cool. My buddy got 3 indians, one was a 1869, of course that is one I need to complete my dug set.....hahahaha.
