Went out today back to my father-in-laws land east of Ryder, ND where a farmstead used to be. All that remains is the windmill.
I found a Charbonneau, N.D. token there last year and a later wheat but I thought there had to be some coins out there somewhere.
I checked out a spot I hadn't swung yet and wouldn't you know it, 2 IHP's and a 1936-D Merc.
I went a few miles west to another guys land who I know fairly well and he gave me permission for a couple spots where farmsteads used to be. The first I gave up on fairly quickly as my time was limited today but I went on to score a really nice 1907 Indianhead at the second spot at about 1/2" deep in the undisturbed Prairie sod. The second spot consisted of a cellar hole on a hill and a neat area down the hill where the person who homesteaded there laid rocks out in a square shape to put a building on.
The first picture is of my finds from the plowed field I hit first this morning....the Indianheads are a bit cruddy.
