First Colonial find of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sscindercoop · Mar 19, 2010

Today I searched a cornfield by the river and got the sweet buckle. The area I found it in had a lot of activity during the Revolutionary War so most likely it belonged to a solider. I found the barber the day before in a yard Ive searched a bunch of times but somehow still manage to find silver every time I go. At first when I cut the plug and saw the barber it was so white I thought it was an aluminum token. Thanks for looking and HH. http://metaldetectingworld.com/photogalary/buckels/pages/B2.htm

Like the buckle. :thumbsup:

I've seen quite a few of these found, and they seem to be the most common in NY, but never turn up here. The longer I detect the more I tend to think about what I haven't found than what I really want to find. But I'll take one of those if it happens.

I have found a few different sizes no batwings yet or other variates. During the American Revolution 2000 soldiers marched right behind my house and camped a mile up the road. Im still trying to get permission to hunt the camp site. Also I live very close to a town called cherry valley there was a huge massacre there during the War so hopefully I can get permission to hunt a few sights and dig some nice relics. Im sure youll find one of those buckles in the near future :icon_thumleft:
