On Tuesday I got out with great friends. We detected several cellar holes that seem to have been hit pretty hard. After about 4 hours we all had some pretty full pouches of trash. I was walking a wall in what would have been a pasture heading back to the truck because we were about to head home. The Explorer SE Pro rang out with a very solid 04/26 showing about 8 inches deep. Sick of digging trash I started to walk away, however something inside said "what is one more piece of trash?" "Go dig it!"
Boy am I glad I did! I removed the plug, stuck the pinpointer in the hole, found that it was still a little deeper. The soil was soft so i just stuck my hand in the hole and fished around. I felt a buckle, the unmistakable shape that I have found in the past. I just kept saying to myself "Please say CS, Please say CS, Please, Please, Please". I pulled it out of the hole and flipped it over. No CS... but a really nice US beltplate.
This is my second in a 2 year period. In Maine of all places. 3 days later and I am still smiling.
