We have a bottom field, adjoined by sloped fields,(now over grown) that for some reason has always produced pieces of plates and or cups, from some earlier era, late 1800's and up, I would find the pieces after tillage and put them in a coffee can like a puzzle, for many years, need to dump that can and see what I have, do recall finding adjoining pieces but in different years. It is kind of cool to ponder how the land was, forested and who used or lived there, nearby.
When we were kids, a friend and I could not stay out of old farm dumps, fields and woods etc., not sure what it was but it sure captures ones imagination.
On our old farm house lawn a big ole victorian mansion and 2 big hay barns, with a metal detector, a 1927 silver dollar and a 1914 quarter was found, plus all kinds of other farm related hardware.
I love rooting around old fence lines, obscure parts of the property where edges of fields meet hedge rows or swamp, often times you may find old dumps, I found 2 more here, there has to be 7 or 8 within the vicinity. I find and collect the old porcelain or ceramic insulators, which can be re-used and the various old barbed wire, and of course locust posts, some of which I have found completely intact, put one in the man cave to add to the clutter LOL, always thought one could be a little artistic and display an old fence line section. One of the best fines along fence lines here is old wire, stainless steel wire was prevalent, instead of galvanized, I roll it up for future use. Spring and fall are nice times to visit these places, by now the insects are too thick.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
