BRIARY CELLAR HOLE HUNT*2 SHOE BUCKLE FRAMES

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

put a 8 hour solo hunt in today at this hole i been avoiding because the grounds are very tough to hunt with all the briars.
But,i figured let me be patient and see what i can pull outta here.
2 colonial shoe buckle frames and 2 buttons for the day.
yup the copper drought continues.
freakin 1985 clad quarter gave me a glimmer of hope until it surfaced
not a bad day

Re: BRIARY CELLAR HOLE HINT*2 SHOE BUCKLE FRAMES

Dave,

You guys in Connecticut find a lot of shoe buckles. I just wish we dug more in the fields of Pennsylvania. We do dig parts of them, but only about 6 a year. Don't worry, man, you will be digging those coppers soon. I need a fix badly as well.

Keep looking and listening hard. The relics are calling, Dave!

Keep the passion high!

A modern coin at an old site is just nasty! Even an 1870s quarter had me cursing one time because the little spot I was digging everything was pre 1760... except for that 1 coin!

Those buckles would have been great if the guts had been still there but sometimes that's a bit much to expect because of the iron. If your site has never been ploughed anytime you get a brass frame always dig a 2' x 2' x 2' hole because the brass inners could still be in the hole.

Some very nice recoveries there. Congrats on the shoe buckles.

It was a Canadian quarter so does that change your mind? But to be honest even if it was a barber or seated it would have made no difference because I was so sure it was going to be something early i could almost tatse it!
