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!

That Bat-Wing Sling Buckle is Amazing Bro Congrats

this iron one is quite a bit larger than the 2 cast brass ones i had dug previously.
still wish we could nail down the era of this style of buckle
seems to be so much controversy on this style. colonial or post colonial
wasn't that far from the shoe buckle and at same depth.so...who knows
