I think I like soybeans....

[WHADIFIND]

SMALL UPDATE ON THE BUTTON: SEE BELOW


I was riding around looking for some dirt to play in today and I
happened to go by my cornfield. But, when I looked there wasn't
any corn, not even stalks? Just a long, flat field like the old abandoned
football field I go to sometimes. I had to take a double look but there
it was, my cornfield, looking mighty flat and inviting!

Now I know that they grew soybeans there this year and they'd been
harvested. But, I didn't expect to ever not have to stumble around
in this field!

Sorry for the buildup but, really, the results were still pretty typical
for me in this field. But, at least, I didn't have to stumble and bounce
my coil off cornstalks every blessed sweep! It was fun! The ground is
still uneven, but not much more than an old school yard.

There's always a chance here, lots of history! And, it's ready for an all
winter hunt! (as long as it doesn't snow, sleet, ice, frost, freeze.....

But, enough prattle....on with the finds:



As you can see, pretty typical walk in a "cornfield".
The nail and the razor knife are included.



Quite a diverse collection of lead, huh.



I *swear* !! I can find clad ANYwhere!! LOL



Blingie's kinda fixated on the bit of shiny.
I was kinda wondering just what kind of
fishing I was doing today.



Again with the fishing lures!?!?
I kept shooing Fishy away but he kept coming
back! I thought he'd know better!

But, then.....I looked a lil closer!



OH MY!!! No wonder that lure works so well!
If you wanta see it better, look up
"Little Cleo WIGL Lure".



Remember what I said about there always being a chance here?
Well, I did manage this one lil evidence. I can see what looks like
the letters "AN" near 12 o-clock. Might also be a "V" just before them.



The front isn't much help. Not sure if my tired eyes
are actually seeing an "S" or "8" in the middle.

So...that was my day. How was yours?

Thanks for peeking!

Nice finds! Thanks for sharing...

HaHaHa! I think I can find clad anywhere also! Deep in the woods this morning I hear the characteristic 'tinkle" sound of a 12-46 with the eTrac; about 5 inches deep. Excitement rises...then collapses...1972 clad dime. Keep up the hunt!

I love hunting a fresh cut soy field...ideal conditions for us!

 

[trapperart]

Thanks for another nice post

THe flat button is a plain silver plated type, you may get a backmark with lemon juice cleaning, but its risky. (might make it worse)

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice Whadi. That little cleo lure brings back some fishing memories for me. I also like that button.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Congratualtions on the very productive hunt!

 

[DizzyDigger]

That is the "Hula Girl" version of the Little Cleo. Had a pile of 'em
that I fished with for years, and then sold on eBay for a nice profit.

Too bad that one is in such sad shape...little to no value, but it's the
first one Ive heard of being used in a soybean field!

Thanks, Cru,

I figured to be doing the lemon juice thing myself. After all, how much "worse" can it get?

But, my picture probably isn't very clear. It appears to be a gold gilting remnant on this. Not that it matters.

I like the soybeans fields better than corn too. Some farmers will turn the field after harvest which makes it cool for easy hunting by eye as well.

I always wonder about the circumstances that lead to coins in a field.

Love the button.

Yeap, looked more closest I see the gilt now not silver, as you say can't ruin it much more.

WHADIFIND ,So where did all those quarters you usually find go? Take all that lead and melt them to produce sinkers and then we can go fishing .

Now THERE'S a plan! It's been a long, long time since I went bass fishing!

The quarters? Oh, they're out there, in the many clad factories. This was a hunt for old.

Thanks!

There's something a little Fishy going on in the soy bean fields!
Is someone using clad to lure you in too?

At lest Blingie is checking it out, but he"s not smiling.

You even got a glint of gold too. Nice romp in the soy field! Congrats!
You got your hunt in ahead of the nasty weather.
....again i won't make it out, this time its weather related.
I may need a refresher "beep & dig" course when i do finally get out there.

And, don't worry about it, your detector won't be speaking to you for a while anyway. Remember?

 

[jeff of pa]

[Westfront]

Always welcome to find a field nice and flat! More is waiting there!

 

[against the wind]
