Wasn't really expecting this today. Just wanted to get out for a few minutes. Dig a couple bullets,
Enjoy being outside as it's really mild here in Nashville. Actually dug in shorts today. Anyway, after a couple of bullets and a wheat penny or two, dug this nice belt buckle. Called it a day.
Merry Christmas!!
PS: and yes, Confederate Gardner on top.

Actually dug in shorts today.

What is it with all these t-netters out plugging in boxers!?!? :icon_scratch:

You must've been real good this year to warrant a Christmas gift like that!

WTG!

Wow, killer find right there my friend. I am just north of Chattanooga and we never got out of the high 40's today. Unfortunately had to work. Tomorrow maybe. Congrats on the buckle and HH.
