So we took a ride out to western ny. Hunted 4 foundations that were clearly hunted before. Picked up 1 or 2 finds at each site. The at pro didn't let me down. First site I found a bat wing buckle and an eagle breast plate. I could not believe it when I saw it. Never thought I would find that in NY. That was on the top of my bucket list. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

Wow, that's a killer find. I like the in-situ shot. The photo accentuates how it fell right there, and it makes you wonder the circumstances behind it.

Awesome plate and buckle! Whoever hit those cellars before didn't do a good job leaving all that big brass behind. Great job and I bet there's a lot more at that place.
