Colonial Field Homesite Gives Up the Goods

02/21/16

<p><strong>After two weeks of tracking down the owners of the site, I finally obtained permission to metal detect some farm fields that once had dwellings from colonial days.</strong> There is still corn stubble in the field and it was difficult in places to get the coil close to the ground.</p> <p>I set the E-TRAC on a two tone ferrous program and quickly located the debris field.</p> [split] <p>The first homesite produced four flat buttons and a 1798 U.S. Large cent in fantastic condition for being buried for over 200 years.</p> <p>The other smaller homesite in the same field gave up two badly worn U.S. Liberty seated dimes dated 1842 and 1854 as well as a round spherical shaped button. Love my E-TRAC!</p>
