Hello everyone, I got out for a few hours today at a couple old farm houses. The first one I'd thought about asking permission at for a while now. The young lady that answered the door told me I could go ahead and do it, just don't take anything above ground with me. The grass really needed cut, but I managed a silver rosie and a few wheats right away. Then it was nothing but new coins in the grass roots and pull tabs and the cans they came from. Crushed Blatz alluminum cans at 5 inches sound like a nice large coin. I'll go back here after the grass is cut and with more time. I then went back to the old torn down farm where I was last week. This place is littered with hundreds of nails and other demolition debris. There are only a couple small areas that are really good to detect. Right in the area where I found the 1853 large cent last week I got a zinc cent reading. It was very shallow, heck I may have passed it up last week, 'cause I don't like messing with rotted pennies. But, the CZ-5 identifies Indian head pennies as zinc cent and the dozers did pass thru here. I found it very close to the surface and it was very clean and sharp like the other coppers from here. I saw lots of words and I knew right away that I had finally found my first Civil War Token. Now I can finally check that goal off my list.
