On Jan 31 I posited a great day we had digging when I found half of a CS reef buckle. Since then the weather has been real cold and we have had a good bit of snow. It has keep me up nights thinking about the other half of that buckle. We went back twice to try to find it , but both times the ground was froze solid and we could not dig at that spot. Finally last Sunday I got there for about an hr and a 1/2 and found several bullets but no buckle. I thought then that it was probably not there Today it was calling for mid 60s and had rained yesterday. Conditions were rite so we made plans to go. I put the large coil back on my AT pro for maximum depth, new batteries, and was all bizz. We got there at 8:00 am and the first 2 signals were junk. (1 pc of wire, 1 nail.) Then I got a good solid hit and dug the hole. I about to crap my paints when I seen the side of that tongue. My two friends and I had a great day. We all found bullets and one found half a spur, and the other found a CS block A button. Later in the day I found the sword hook off of the belt about 3 feet from the tongue . Sorry for rambling on but this is better than any buzz you can buy!! Thanks for letting me share this great day with you. I will probably never top it!!!

Great story. Your persistence paid off on what was a reasonable hunch.

This thread too should have made the Banner by now. Have all the Mods gone to a convention or something? Come guys, flip the switch.

Thanks ZDD, and DigIron2. Thanks for your comments on the banner, but that is not what I am about. I own the history and the great story that goes with it. That is what is important to me. I have only been a member of this forum for a short while but have enjoyed and learn a lot, and will continue. Thanks again for all the great comments, HH RN

That's great you found the other half. Many, many of us have found halves of military buckles and had no luck finding the complementing piece.

Great recovery

Congratulations on finding the other half to your wreath buckle!

Kudos to you for continually returning to the site to find it.
It took me over 2 years and 5 visits to find all the pieces to this large crotal bell.
