Me and the ole Sniffster(sniffy) headed out at 5:30 am to get an early start before the Blizzard got to us. not a bad hunt. I got 2 buckles.one is a all iron batwing buckle(the only other 2 batwings i dug, were cast brass)
and a ornate colonial shoe buckle frame.no buttons and no coins for me.if we get the 12 inches they are expecting i may as well say it's a wrap for 2010.
not to say we won't be out trudging through 6 inches of snow in a few weeks! :laughing7:

Now that is the way to Colonially do it, Dave. :headbang: :notworthy: :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright: The ornate Colonial shoe buckle is a great way to end the year. I would be thrilled with it. You had a great year that will not be forgotten. Stay warm for the 2011 relic hunting season. :laughing7:

Keep the passion high!

Hold it right there! Raise those buckles over your head and start backing up very slowly. Now stop, and grab a beer to celebrate a great year. :occasion14:

The Winter does bring some misery, but with a year like that it also gives you a time to reflect how great it was. Oh 2001 :tongue3:
