I have a local permission that I frequent after work when I have the chance, The pickings are slim but its a chance to get some time in on the Equinox. I have tried the 15" in the fields, the 11" in the general house areas, and the six inch in the trashy areas as there is a lot of iron on this site. It is an old farm with plenty of space and I have been over it numerous times. I was using the six inch coil next to the old house between the bits of aluminum siding, and rusty nails when I found the Ford plate. I think it is a neat find and it is from the same period as the house. It cleaned up well.

Nice finds! That house looks really old, do you know the year it was built?

I know the year the house was built was 1870. There is an awful lot of forged nails on the site which leads me to believe that there was a prior dwelling there as well.

I have dated the Ford plate to 1914-1922. It is a ignition switch plate for the coil of a model T. I have also pulled many wheats and a couple of Barbers from the site dated in that range as well.
