Went to a nearby corn field this afternoon to try my chances. After a half hour or so, found a nice tombac button (not pictured). Not 5 minutes later the e-Trac signaled something that sounded a little bit like lead. Dug about 4 or 5 inches and out popped a coin! It's slightly larger than a nickel and according to the members of Treasurenet, it's a British King George II Farthing. Date looks to be 1740!!

This is my first 1700s coin!!!!
