By the time I got from the truck to the site,
about a quarter mile, it started sleeting and
raining. I hung in there for about 20 minutes,
My XLT was getting soaked and I had no plastic.
So the hunt was cut short.
I did, however, get some keepers.

Fired pistol bullet
Some decorative brass
Iron buckle
Brass decorative buckle frame
Flat button with rope edging
Pewter button with some kind of design
(That is only my 2nd pewter button and
they both came from this site.)

I can't wait to get a whole day hunting there.

The 'decorated brass with holes' is part of a Colonial Shoe Buckle.  The pewter buttons are a good sign & so is those buckles icon_thumright  Get back there & be prepared Wink

TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
