Got my 2nd plate of the year

[vayank54]

In the beginning March I got permission to dig around a stone building that was a tavern or ordinary in the 1700's. No one has lived in the building since at least the early 70's and it is usually so grown up you can't get near it. Thanks to the heavy snow I was able to dig around it. The place is trashy and hard to hunt. The first time I went in I got a lead soldier, a rough 1850's large cent and an eagle I button. Not anywhere near as much as I was expecting and I have been wanting to hit it again. I did not have a chance until yesterday. It has already started growing up again and again I didn't dig near what I had hoped. I got a couple wheat pennies, a brass boot tap, a brass key to a railroad lock and a US buckle. The buckle is civil war but a late war buckle as it has the small keeper hook and the lead filling is thin.

[Breezie]

I REALLY do think I'm gonna ride up there and 'box your ears!' LOL . . .Way to go ! Now remember what I told you; 'if' you find a plate with CSA or NC on it, it is the one I lost. Really nice find, Breezie

 

[vayank54]

Thanks all.
Yep even after a little over 40 years it is still a thrill to pop a plate out of the ground. I hope everyone on here gets a chance to experience it. You never know where they might be hiding either.
Well Breezie let me know when you're on your way up so I can find a place to hide. I don't want to end up like the guy on the left
Buckleboy, Remember I told you that you needed to find more than one.
