CONFEDERATE WREATH BUCKLE, 1810 LC, and more amazing relics at the "hunted out" site!

Today was fun to say the least! Went back to the "hunted out" site I found the FE, Fat IH and KGII last week. The snow finally melted and it was time for me to hunt the areas I couldn't hit before. Things started out really slow with only one button for my efforts, but eventually I decided to start gridding extremely slowly in between the iron. I immediately got a low tone and popped out a really cool little watch winder! Not 5 minutes later a get a high tone, a perfect coin signal, next to a large rock and saw a nice looking thick rim in the hole! I immediately knew it was going to be a large cent! It wasn't too shabby condition either! The 1810 is very strong on this coin, that made my day! :) A few more buttons surfaced over two hours until things got really quiet. So quiet that I decided to move onto the 1810 standing house nearby. I immediately went into the front yard as the sun was setting, hoping to possibly pluck something out from underneath the fill dirt that was scattered throughout this yard. I first find an aluminum pipe and then get a nasty faint deep signal, it was bouncy but was consistent enough for me to dig. I dig, and dig, and dig... pulled out two massive iron nails... still getting that choppy signal... and finally pulled out a huge chunk of brass. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was and I started trembling!!! :headbang: It was a Wreath to a CS BUCKLE! How amazing is that?!?! I ran around and jumped up and down like a maniac but didn't care. I was having a blast!!! After about 5 minutes of sitting there in awe, I put it away in my backpack and continued digging until I had to go. Between the EMI, trash, and fill dirt at this site, I still found a gorgeous tombac shoe buckle fragment, 4 wheat pennies and a stunning 1892 indian head penny. I can't imagine how to spend a Saturday better than this. :hello2: Thanks so much for reading! I HAVE TO FIND THAT TONGUE!!!!!!!!! There's a very slim chance it's there still, but I will be going back to look for it! :thumbsup::find: HH!!!!!!!

Glad to see you out moving some dirt again Isaac. That was a killer hunt you had topped off with that awesome wreath buckle. That site appears to still be loaded so hope you can get back out there again soon.

Awesome finds Im jelous Ive been to many 'hunted out sites" and I look at it like they just cleaned alot of the top junk out for me I dig alot of faint iffy signals and get some of my best finds. Unless you go behind some one who doesnt pick up the junk stuff they dig. I hate that. Those are great additions to your collection. thanks for the post!!!!!

Look hard for that tongue Bud!!! Same thing happened to me and for two months it consumed me. Finally found it and the sword hook ten feet away. It's a good chance it's there and I hope you can find it. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you so much everyone!!! I'm looking forward to going back. My plan is to dig every single tone (iron or not) in a 10 foot spiral. :) I'm very excited about this find! I never thought I would find one. At least not at this type of site. HH all.
