Hello all, both pjroo33 and myself got a chance to get out yesterday. We really had no idea where to go but found a home from 1752 that looked very promising so we stopped and asked permission and somehow got it! We started with very high hopes because the woman who owns the property had told us it had never been detected before. I thought for sure pj's long quest for his first LC would for sure be over and he would finally dig his first LC! Well, didn't happen that way. Lots of iron everywhere. PJ found a merc and I came across a 1950's pocket spill. 5 nickels(1940, 2x1941's, 1951 and 1953) and 10 wheats(1916, 1935, 1940, 1941,1942,1949,1950S,1951 and 1953). And some cap that I think say's PECO(Philadelphia electric Co). I don't know if soil was added in the 1950's or what but not one LC between the two of us! Pj did pull out a nice old buckle! All in all we did get out at least. Thanks for looking

They seem to be so random, sometimes there are 5 or 6 on one little property and others that you would think should hold some have absolutley none. I must say that iron is usually a big issue around here. There is usually so much your lucky to hear anything else through it

Not a buckle expert, but I believe it may be part of an old horse bridle. Just my 2 cents worth. :tongue3:
