I have to find the default values of Site columns and Library/list columns using PowerShell script. The site contains 8 to 10 libraries and the default values are different on each library hence I need to get the default values for the columns in different libraries as well as the site column. The following code gives only the Site columns, I need library column details as well.

.$defvalue = $field.DefaultValue.

Can anyone please help me with the ways to collect this information.
