Very good morning is putting it lightly! You must be on a virgin site or one that hasn't seen much hunting. Congratulations on some great relics

I would say you scored BIG TIME with the buckle plate! Not nearly as bad of condition as many others posted here. I would get into that field as often as I could. :headbang:

I hunted it pretty good this morning but i am sure there is probably another bullet or 2 there. The weird thing is there was no trash, iron, coins, nothing? Just the bullets and the buckle, im not complaining but it was weird that is the only thing i have found so far.

I would say that you stumbled upon a virgin site. Go back, grid it off, expand your search area.
Congratulations on your finds.

That's a very good sign that you are on a camp. Every known camp that we hunt has camp lead/mealt. When I find that, I know we are on good ground.
