Last night I was remembering that I recently got permission for a few thousand acres of land. So I hit the auditors website and old maps to see if any of his land had any other sites I could hit today. I found 2 houses across the street from each other on the 1871 map but gone on the 1887. Since I new these places weren't going to give up anything new I hit them up this morning. The first site was easy to find and I ended up finding some buttons, a nice 1863 Fatty Indian...and a 1849 LC. When I was walking out I seen the point and the broken point. I will walk that field in the spring for sure.

The second house was a mile off the road and a pain to find. Once I found it I got a couple buttons and a rusted butt plate. About 30 minutes into the hunt I got a screaming quarter signal at 2 inches. It ended up being a beautiful 1856 Seated Liberty Quarter. My second seated so far this season. Once I got home I realized it had a crust on it. From the looks, it was in a fire. It has great details underneath the crap. I got it off the best I could. That puts me at 7 Indians and 9 Silver so far this year. HH if you can get out!

Enjoy the video, it has a hunt from a couple of weeks ago in it.

Congrats on some great finds... Thanks for the video as well :icon_thumright:
 

great finds!! :icon_pirat:
 

Great finds! I would continue to hit that site (the whole 3000 acres) until I thought I've covered every inch of it. Even far away from the old house sites, you're probably going to find coins and relics, since they were out in the fields, planting and harvesting, season after season, and year after year. Since fields that size are impossible to find in my general vicinity of Western Suffolk County, Long Island, I've had to hit field and wood sites, a 30th (and less) of the size of your site, scores of times for years, and still come up with keepers. Some of my best and rarest finds were random drops, sort of in the middle of no where. Even if you go blank a few hunts in a row, you'll be surprised how it will continue to produce for years as long as you don't give up on it, and cover the entire area. I'd love to be able to hunt a piece of land like that!
 

Great research Kyle, and great rewards for you're efforts!! Love the Seated. What a great Janurary, pushing april/may totals!!
 

awesome finds, and I agree some fields continue to give up yr after yr. Even with the little bit of dirt they move when they plant might be enough to move stuff around for new targets to be detectable.
