Did a hour at the corn stalk field the other evening and got a really old rosette and another lead stylist.
Today I got up early to do a wood mill run and they only had part of the order, so off I went to check out some farm fields we've been waiting to be harvested, some fast driving got me to fields of unharvested beans
So off to see about getting some new permissions and ended up in a detour because of somebody wanted to be a power pole hugger so it closed the roads down and a short drive turned into a hour of going around the country block doing the tourist thing.
So the first permission turned into a hunt and another permission, that turned into the big one.
Knocked at a house that was the owner of a church and the surrounding fields that now have winter wheat and under the wheat sits an Rumoured 1814 Inn which sits beside the stage stop where they changed the horses in 1840's and got a nose permission. Meaning she just stuck her nose out enough to give me permission to hunt the church providing I showed her the finds. My return visit with some measly looking finds (4 cents)and trash she came out to the truck and this live historical book opened up and I was sitting on the tailgate of the truck wishing I took a leak before going there.
but after a hour I got the permission to hunt her 120 acre farm and the names of the farmer that does the farming in the area. If there is land they either own it or farm it, and it's 1000's of acres, so I waited for the one brother to drive up to the farm and I secured the permission "Sure go ahead" (helps to name drop the permissions f the big farms I have up my way, it really opened the door"). He just wanted to know my first name so he could tell the others (family and farm hands) So I went to the corner field to get a little hunt in before the end of the day.
Pretty quiet corner but I got a great looking Rosette and a 1894 IH right off the bat,
Then it was a flat button then the parts of a two piece, bead, and silver spoon with major disk damage what looks like W E D initials . Seemed like there was no other halves to the finds in the little site corner.

That rosette and IHP looked great with a green patina.
