It’s been hard to find time to detect here lately between work, work and more work. I managed to get approval from my lady to dig for 3 hours today. I knocked but got shot down at three houses and dug for a few at a church playground. Only found a heavy lead ingot and some modern coins. I moved on to a school yard that had an old house there before. Previously me and bladerunner2020 had dug a couple old coins and a pile of trash. I showed up with about 30 min left to dig and found my first cw buckle on the second hole! There was a square nail about 3” down and the buckle was another 2” below that. The hooks are intact but the pin (or whatever it’s called) was below the buckle. At least I think that’s what it is. I was thinking this was trash till I got it out the hole and wiped the dirt away to expose the “US”. What a great thanksgiving! I fed and visited the family this year, took a 9 point buck and now this! Wow.

Sometimes I wish good things happened in a more spread out way, but when good things happen in rapid succession, ride that wave. That said, great buckle with the arrow hooks intact
