This site also gave up 1879 and 1880 indians, CW button, misc relics as well. It was a great day, My buddy Dan had never before yesterday gotten a CW button and by the end of the day, he had TWO in his keeper pouch!
Yesterday I took a day off work and spent it in the fields detecting with Barber Dan, started off at 21 degrees, ground a little frosty and the fingers numb. But it was a day well spent. Field one started off great I got the 5 cent trade token, a wheat and the buckle dated 1879 then it all went downhill, both my buddy and I started digging clad and buckets of trash. This site would be put on a back burner for a day when there is nowhere to go! Field two was on the 1872 map but GONE by the 1914 map, so I was hoping for some oldies, we located the homesite right away, saw glass and pottery, found the iron patch, and the first good signal was a screaming 12-47, I was hoping for a large copper but when I broke open the partially frozen clump and saw the silver rim peeking out of the dirt, my heart started to race, it was a silver quarter, I saw the rays on the back around the eagle and knew right away it was a 1853, since that was the only year rays were present. I started doing the happy dance since this was only my second seated quarter in over 6 yrs of detecting. It has some plow damage from a lot of years of plowing but I am NOT complaining!
