Super hunt, post, finds and a great day for you and your group. I know the feeling you must have had after finding the buckle and I don't blame you for taking a break and "soaking in" the great rush of finding it. Congrats Will, happy to see such good finds being made and again research and persistance pay off.

UUUUHHHHH.......B B buuuuuuuuu.....B B B buuuuuu........@#%%$&*%$$#%!!!!!
You got me all screwed up BB!! I am totally amazed at the day you had. A relic hunter doesnt even bother dreaming of a day like that because it just doesnt happen. I will not forget the day that BB had the hunt of his life!!
SWEEEEEEEET BUDDY!!! I cant even think of words to explain how I would feel having a day like that.
I am glad you got to experience it for it was well deserved. Job well done!! ATA-BOY BB!!!!!! 8) 8)

Unbelievable! The luck involved to find both pieces of that buckle is staggering. Am I correct that these pieces were numbered? If so, do the numbers match on both halves?

I'm not sure I agree with the sabre blows theory though. I think it would be doubtful that it was hit once much less several times. Plus I think the owner would have been laying in the battlefield if he got hit with that sabre. The problem is that we will never know the full story.

But who cares? You found some amazing artifacts!
