BUCKLED UP 2010

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Me and the ole Sniffster(sniffy) headed out at 5:30 am to get an early start before the Blizzard got to us. not a bad hunt. I got 2 buckles.one is a all iron batwing buckle(the only other 2 batwings i dug, were cast brass)
and a ornate colonial shoe buckle frame.no buttons and no coins for me.if we get the 12 inches they are expecting i may as well say it's a wrap for 2010.
not to say we won't be out trudging through 6 inches of snow in a few weeks!

Now that is the way to Colonially do it, Dave. The ornate Colonial shoe buckle is a great way to end the year. I would be thrilled with it. You had a great year that will not be forgotten. Stay warm for the 2011 relic hunting season.

Keep the passion high!

Hold it right there! Raise those buckles over your head and start backing up very slowly. Now stop, and grab a beer to celebrate a great year.

The Winter does bring some misery, but with a year like that it also gives you a time to reflect how great it was. Oh 2001
