Cornfield Housesite Hunting In Canada

[jeff@middlesex]

I have been out pounding a couple of cornfields out my way. Both had house sites on them from the late 1800's. I have been using my Teknetics T2 and it is paying off big time.
1874 Canadian Silver Dime and a Shield Nickle, crude toy whistle

ONC Token, not to sure about this but it may be an early amusement token. It is razor thin and read as a nickel.

And finally the bells. I am not sure whats up with all these bells but in the two fields I have been hunting this is what I have so far.

Some appear to be bronze and some pewter and the others I have no idea. Clappers are all missing from every bell. The tallest is about 2.5" tall

Jeff, Very interesting and great finds.Were there any remains of the old home site foundation in the corn field. Swallow coins? Ron

Thanks Ron, lots of pottery, clay pipe stems and lots of iron junk and I mean a ton of it. It is right beside the old RR tracks and spikes and square nails everywhere. Most coins are 4-5" as this field is plowed every season for the crops.
