Stone Walls & Cart Paths
Headed out on a different cartpath on the local Conservation area,
as I was preparing to head out, I spotted a modern Buckle on the ground,
probably fell out of a hunters vehicle as they were headed up the same path.
It's really well made, the company still makes buckles, but this 1973 is not in thier catalog, & I can't find it anywhere on the web either. Wish it was an 1873!
It is not something i'll use, I may toss it in the woods for another to find.
As I headed out further into the forest, I started getting the feeling i was being watched, Really weird, I'm out here all the time and it doesn't cross my mind.
dug a few spent shells & slugs, then a ricochet musket ball.
I'm figuring it's old, You muzzleloaders don't use round shot, do you?
Adding to this uneasy feeling, next I come across a pitchfork stuck upright in the ground, and a 6 X 3 foot depression in the earth nearby.
no metal in it. This is 3/4 of a mile from the road, off the paths.
Keep wandering, over hill and dale, and I spot stone structure at the top of a small hill. What a find I think! mansion on a hilltop. turns out to be an old cemetary, put my detector down & went in, find earliest stone 1814, others have worn dates.
not listed on any old maps i've researched. saw a big tree growing straight out of a boulder.
I followed the route from the entrance back out to the road, not much for signals other than iron, padlock plate, slide bolt, another brass buckle, that's it.
just posting to let you all know I'm out there hittin the dirt!
thanks for looking! & HH
