Fall field hunting has started

[Mark in S.E. IA]

Sunday night I got permission to MD a farm field that use to have a 1 room schoolhouse in it. I got started on it Monday morning and I wasn't out there 10 min's before a guys drives up to me in the field and ask me if I had permission to be there. I told him that I did and he told me that he just called
Ruth an asked her if she gave anybody permission to be out there and she said NO. I told the guy that I talked to Chuck " which is Ruth's husband" sunday night and he gave me permission to MD the field. Then the guy gets all nice and says he's sorry an off he goes. I'm sure glad that I remembered
the land owners name because I'm not very good at remembering names.

Ok, back to the field hunt. The first coin I found was a nice 1920 SLQ and then it was a good hour later before I found the 1898 Barber dime. the rest of the time I was there I was doing a lot of swinging in between the other coins I found which was a 1907, 1879 IH and 3 wheat's, all in the teens.
That big thing in the picture, I think it's a Pendulum from a Grandfather clock.
I'm happy with my first field hunt for the fall season.

Really awesome finds Mark! It has been a while since I had found an SLQ and that one looks nice with the readable date. The Barber looks to be in great shape too. I definitely can relate to your story as I am terrible with names as well. I try and make it a point to write the owner's name down as soon as I can get to a piece of paper for just those type of occasions.

Great finds. Look forward to seeing what you find next. HH

I have only found one and it was so worn, it was hard to tell what it was.

Dave, me and the Etrac have been clicking this summer and I'm pretty happy I got it.

So far this summer I have found 3 SLQ's.
