Farm Field Hunting With The SE Today...

...with the 12.5" Excelerator coil, manual 25. It was a beautiful day out, if not a little cold. Nice day for so slow row-walking in a BIG bean field. Some pics...

Five wheaties, an 1885 Indian, 18-something Large Cent, 1830's Naval button, a fired 3-ringer mini, and some coin parts.

The LC and the Indian before cleaning...no "before" on the button.

The backmark is "Benedict & Burnham", which a search shows would be 1834 to 1843. Click Here!

The Indian and LC were pretty well smoked, normal for around here. :(

The Indian is 1885, LC is 18?? :shrug:

On the left is anybody's guess...it's a coin, it's BIG, and it's OLD. I could see two "0's" with my loupe. Looks like the plow got it. A FEW times! On the right is 1/4 of a Large Cent.

Yes, good talking to you too. Hopefully we will hunt together before too long, if I can get down there. Or maybe you guys need to come up here...summer tourist season here is pretty hot...lot of bling! :)

Happy Hunting!
 
Yeah, the copper gets toasted pretty bad. I was hoping for a nice silver coin or two. There's a LOT more field to hit though...I know it's there for me. Need to hit it next weekend ALL DAY. Today I was only out there for about 2 1/2 hours.
 
Great finds:thumbup:....One of these days, when I can afford it, I'm gonna be back there to do a little reminiscing & hunting...I really miss being in the area back there...Out here you can't get a decent barbecue sandwitch lol...The pics from Va. beach really get my attention...(they bring back a lot of memories & it doesn't look like it's changed too much) I really miss the past...Some of my best memories are from back there...I'm not sure if this is the place... But if anybody back in Va. knows Freddie Deans..Wish him Well..He's a good guy and the first person I ever detected with back in 75...Hey Freddie if you're reading this....I miss you all & hope life is going good for everybody....Wish you & the rest of the family well...TT
 
Finding a Large Cent is one on my list and to get an old Button from that far back is just a fantastic added bonus. Too bad the Large Cent and the Indian Head are Toast! :shrug: Guess you just have to take them any way you can find them. Hope you find many more interesting finds at that Bean Field and Good Luck and HH Mike!:detecting::thumbup:
 
You did well in that field, Mike. NICE Naval button, that should make up for those crispy LC's. Never saw a 1/4 LC before, I saw one chopped in half. Good luck next weekend in your Field of Beans. Ron
 
sitting here. I have both the 4 x 7 excelerator and I also picked up the 8" concentric excelerator coil for my SE. Haven't got to try either...but they sure do look cool.....just sitting there.
