Buried Treasures:Sharp-eyed farmers unearth bits and pieces of history in their fields

摘要

Farmland hides treasures. Catch a furrow following a winter rain, check a ridge after a field is flipped or walk a turn row months after grain trucks have gone silent—the dirt continuously reveals its secrets.What lies beneath? Arrowheads, fossils, petrified wood, meteorites, marbles and coins are a portion of an endless list pulled from the trappings of yesteryear. With a bit of fortune and instinct, a sharp-eyed hunter can find a stone tool untouched for millennia or a child's marble lost for a century.U.S. farmland isn't home to traditional buried treasure, but it's a haven for seekers who are simply chasing the thrill of the history hunt.
