    Complete Colonial Shoe Buckle...

    Hey everyone,

    The weather was nice so I had to get out today and I wasn't alone...Must have pulled about 15 ticks off my clothes...In February...In MA... Anyways, I detected a well hunted area with a land development project going on to boot. Right where machinery plowed through a field stone wall I got a decent signal where the dirt had been pushed aside and scored my second complete buckle on the year! Thanks for looking and HH!

    On a side note,just for the record I scored my 1st silver (64 Wash.Q) coin on the year a couple days ago.

    Thanks very much everyone, for the record all I did to clean this was to simply let the dirt dry and it came off with practically no effort.
