That is KILLER alright.
A heart break not to get the other half, but hey, half is much better than no half.
And I do know exactly how you would feel I got half a tongue, and wreath buckle, and was unable to get the other half.
But maybe next spring you have a better chance ?
Good luck out there.

Better to find that half than just the wreath! Nice find, maybe adding a weedwhacker to the kit will help locate the rest.

That is awesome. Makes you want to go back with one of those motorless push mowers. Theres an old drive in theater site that is all weeds closed in the early 70s I know theres lots of silver there but like your site there is no swinging the detector. Just thinking out loud Great find!!!!! I would love to find something like that. Keep up the good posts

That would be a site that I would always have as a backup. Eventually you will find the wreath portion ....if it is there.

That's quite a nice find Steve. In my experience it's very difficult to find both halves to a 2-piece buckle like that, but it just might be hiding somewhere at that site. Good luck finding it.

In overgrowth...
"Pat the coil" and "scrub"...
Push through... don't swing...
When you get a signal... push aside growth with your feet then instead of an X pattern do small to larger circles.
And the ole dip in "dip swing".
Well done Scrappy.

That's a heart stopper Scrappy and I voted this sweet buckle for a banner find. I'll bet that other part will be found when the area is easier to get to.
