I went out in the woods today...was planning on going to a foundation I've hit in the past but I decided to walk a little further down the trail and I stumbled across another cellar. I hunted here for about an hour and came away with this nice buckle and the spoon handle (pewter?). THe buckle gave me a good signal from the start, I thought it might have been a coin. It was pretty deep under some roots, which caused me to scratch it! Oh well...I've now found like 3 different sizes of this buckle. This one seems older....Others I have found looked to have been stamped brass but this one looks different. I hit the other foundation (the one pictured) on my way out and scored the 1902 indian head and someone's cell phone :laughing7:

Thanks for looking!

I was really looking forward to plugging the phone in and seeing if there were any pictures on it....unfortunately it's not a camera phone and the chargers for this phone are getting obsolete!
