We find some of the oldest things while metal detecting colonial farms. Everything from 1700's coins, buttons, buckles; really anything made of metal can be found since these fields were worked by hand for hundreds of years. Nowadays most farmers plant seed right over top of whatever was harvested last fall so the ground remains relatively undisturbed, but once in a while a farmer will do a plowing or even a till, which will turn the ground over, even just a little bit. This turning of the ground will not only bring things up from the depths but also nudge things near the top around a little so what was not found before might now be heard by the machine. So when we heard this old farms that we've detected before had a plowing done we shot over there to give it a go before the seeds went in. What a decision it was with lots of period items found by everyone including some of the earliest US coins ever made!
