Heavymetalnut (dave) brought me to a couple sites that he knows of. ALOT of targets, but the deep snow probally affected alot of them. The first site I dug a flat button (the one on the left, common wreath style) and a 1926 wheatie (not pictured). And this suspender clip. The second site seemed to be alot earlier of a homestead, ALOT of targets here as well...BUT DEEP SNOW!....By now i'm getting a bit frustrated with my DFX, I"m having a bit of difficulty getting used to it. Pinpointing with it is alot different than what i"m used to. About an HR into the second site I dig the smallest little shoe buckle I"ve ever seen. Possibly a childs buckle I imagine. That buckle made my day. Today I went to a local site just down the road, I spent a couple hrs and dug twice. My first target was this gilted button, I mangled it. The ground here is like concrete. I spent every bit of 30 minutes digging 6 inches. And in the process I nicked the button and broke off the shank (which was completely upright). I was scared for a while, I thought I damaged a 1812 button, but after cleaning it ends up being another common "gilt". Today I also dug a 1890 IH (center of the shoebuckle) Another victim. I badly nicked the reverse of this coin. Again, the digging at THIS site is next to impossible. All in all I had a good couple of hunts. Also not pictured is the VERY MANY ox shoes I constantly dig, nails, and scrap peices of trash.
