Copper & a complete shoe buckle

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with Allyson (Detecting Diva) for a half a day hunt. Todd had to work and we figured he may join us when he got done at 12 noon. But he had other plans after work .2 new sites turned into 4 as we stumbled onto 2 other sites real close to the original 2. .the sites were hit pretty good and finally away from the hole I got a matron head LC.then my machine display goes out

I shut it off start it back up no display again and shuts off

I'm like great! smackin the box i finally get it goin with a threshold but no screen display ,no pinpoint display nothin and stuck in coin mode which i hate using.no way to get it set back to tone ID so,for the last hour I was swingin blind basically.dug a few flattened beer cans on a side dirt road then figuring another beer can as i cant't see any VDI numbers.kneel down plunge my shovel in and see the corner of a shoe buckle frame.a nice complete colonial shoe buckle.
Ally got 2 coppers and some buttons.
We really had to work for our finds but,was worth it in the end.
Now to pack up the machine & off it goes to White's Monday

You guys rock on those colonial relics and coins. Absolutely among my favorites on the net. We are a bit too young in my part of TN to get back that far, but what I wouldn't give. Nothing short of amazing finds ......... keep em coming.

Great digs as usual. Sorry to hear about your detector. I had something similar happen Saturday. I had an episode of butterfingers and dropped my camera into the hole I just recovered a copper from. Unfortunately the hole had already filled halfway with water since the field was so muddy. Now I'm getting a "lens error" message on the screen. Hopefully its a quick fix at the camera shop and not water damaged. Hope your detector comes back quickly as well. That buckle is great. I've never found an intact one.

One of the nicest buckles I've seen here on T-Net since I became a member. Very nice find.

HMN Dave , Complete buckles are a rare dig in my parts of the East coast country . I think settlers here wore the kind with zippers .

Most Triumphant relic recovery indeed !
