Field finds

[Merf]

I have been searching field sites after the harvest that I had searched many times before and had a few decent finds.

I’ve got thousands of acres of fields around me….. I just can’t work up the guts to swing on them. I need to after seeing your sweet digs. Congrats!

Just need to get information if there was something out there, way back when.
Surprising a lot of owners point to rubble areas out in the vast fields-cuts down on hot spotting.
Best addictive hunting is the worked lands of the farms.

Great hunt, excellent finds.

The crop lands? Why do you think that is? I would expect the home areas (house, barn, that sort of thing) to be more productive? I could see it more if the fields were older and had been worked for centuries (or is that what you mean)? Fields in my part of the world could have only been worked by Europeans for a couple hundred years, max. And for a lot of areas, probably more like a hundred.

What I meant is the homes that were there and no longer are today.
Small dirt farmers that homesteaded for decades, or even a century, then sold out to a neighbour after a fire or death.
These are the place to go, the (un) documented cellar holes some call them-house foot prints.

Yes, good old America as old as the Roman Occupation of Britain

So lets go with 300 yrs for some spots, around my parts its 200 yrs.
They broke the land, built a log home, lived in that till a proper home was built.
The mid to late Victorian era saw the building of homes we most see today.
But there always had to be a previous one.
That's the ones we seek out, the ones that sit on a slight raised section of the field.
Some cover only 1/4 acre-bigger ones an acre. (The heaviest concentration of targets)
