SNOW.
They say we can get up up 2" to 4" today and it's May the 2nd :angry :
Here are some of my better finds from from my past few hunts.
Sunday I got permission to hunt a field that once had a farm house. While talking to the farmer he told me that he had another chunk of ground that use to have 2 old farms on them and I could hunt them too.
I went to the first place and the old house was about a third of a mile back out in to the field and so I had a hard time locating right where the house use to be, but I found it. After all that work finding right where the house was I only found a Merc and 2 wheat, but I am going to go back out there again. That place showed up on the 1875 plate map and their has to be so older coins there, I hope. Then I went to his other field that had the 2 farms on it and didn't find anything good at the first place so I went a 1/4 mile down the road to the other place and hit that for a lil over a hour before it got dark and found a rosie, 2 wheat's and marble. I need to go back to that place.
Monday I was doing a lil research and found a Ball field that showed up in the 30's aerial photo but not in the 50's photo and I knew who owned the land. I got permission and I went to check it out Monday afternoon. This place was been hit hard in the past or the ball field was not used too much. I only found a 1901 V Nickel and 3 wheat's.
Tue I went back to that field to check it out one more time and it was a waste of my time, I didn't find anything, lol. so I went to a 1RSH that I hit 1 1/2 years ago and did pretty good the last time I was there and this time I did pretty good too. I found a Merc, 2 V's a 1907 & 1911, a no date buff, 2 wheat's and some junk jewelry.
Wed it was too cold and windy to go out and today I'm getting SNOW. lol
