COLONIAL SHOE BUCKLE!! what's that doing there?

[cjon455]

BLOWN AWAY! That's all i got to describe today's hunt! It started out with me driving 70 miles north, I even crossed over into New York!, Lol it was so nice out with the windows down, I didn't even realize. I hit 3 yards today but the finds were minimal. 1st house had nothing but deep clad, junk, and the 2nd best find of the day this monster crotal Bell! Fully intact w/ringer inside still! The next house gave me my best Relic ever, this colonial shoe Buckle ! I'm blown away because I have no idea how this piece ended up at that house. The house was late 1800s at best and I end up getting a colonial shoe buckle, that's not supposed to happen lol! But I'm not complaining this sucker is fully intact and all the pieces still move. That house only gave me the buckle and some more deep clad 5-inches what the heck? Lastly I hit an 1800s house and managed 5 wheats (127 fty) and a couple odds and ends. WOW WOW WOW for that buckle though, I'm thrilled to have it! I would never put that on my bucket list because it feels like it would be unrealistic for the type of places I hunt either way I'm stoked to have it ! Thanks for looking and hh!!

Congrats on the top notch buckle and bell! Both are finds I would be thrilled with. It's amazing how, once in a while, a find is wonderfully preserved underground.

thanks JC!, I could not believe when that Buckle popped out of the ground, I should have hit it with my Digger luckily I missed it thanks again!

Congrats! Nice finds and they are in great shape!

thanks alot guys, I was more than happy with the bell and then that amazing buckle showed up under my coil. I would've never expected that. Ever. I didn't have something like that on my bucket list because it was unheard of for the type of hunts I do. Still pumped to have and display that!

Looks to me like it was just lying around waiting for CJON to come around and dig it up.

Very nice finds!
