Got permission to hunt grounds around a 5000 sq ft home built in 1900. The owner is selling as the house has been empty for a couple of years. She asked if we would wait till she got someone to cut the grass before we did around the house. We said no problem and asked if we hunt the cornfield attached to the property until the farmer who leases the property plows and plants. She said no problem but I don't think you'll find much.
Right off the bat started to find buttons, cut nails, bricks and pieces of pottery. Thinking there might have been a house in the field at some point. Only found 2 coins but they were goods one. First one was an 1805 Large Cent, the date and most of the details of the front of the coin wore off while it was in the pouch, must have been rubbing, but the back isn't bad.
The second coin was better. My first Spanish Silver!!! It's pretty worn but it appears to be a 1776 Spanish 1/2 Reale.
Boy was I surprised. Did a little silver dance right there in the field.
Thanks for looking.
