Buckleboy and BuckleDad Hunt

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,


BuckleDad came to visit and of course we spent some quality time together with detectors on our arms.


I just wanted to post some photos of the places we went and what we found...



The first photos are of a great site from yesterday--A 1700s double log cabin tucked away near a creek:



















Today we decided to re-hunt some old (and good) spots of mine. BuckleDad is a dig-it-all kind of guy, and he makes some great finds. Today was no different. In clearing some of the iron out of a site that has given me a nice lock plate and some other good iron finds, BuckleDad managed to dig a very nice item. I believe it is a toy lathing hatchet, perhaps from a child's carpentry set. I was thrilled to see this one come up--and thrilled to see the look on Dad's face.











We also dug a good many buttons, some musketballs and other lead, and a few other doodads. Here are some photos of the finds:
















Best Wishes,



Buckles

Well now a Son and Dad hunt, that is always special Will. I have been fortunate enough to have one of my sons share my passion and he may even have more than I do and we have been hunting together since the early to mid 80s! Only twice did both son's and I get out together and with his beginners luck, I think he got spoiled on his only two hunts, but his interests went other directions from my oldest son and I .

Great hobby, sharing history together...............
