Got out for a half day on a new site - a large set of fields on a local river. I thought a little field directly on a small creek coming from the river would be the place to start. Nothing. Not even a stray relic. I wandered around the woods line and came off the higher area and started to see shell. My detector started to pick up iron so I knew something was coming. Found a small button, then a piece of cut lead and then the ornate buckle. After finding the buckle I figured anything could come up here. Weird how some of the older sites are in the low areas and not on the hills. One section, where I found the 1/3 cut Dutch coin, is so loaded with iron my detector blanks out. I can read PARVAE on the cut piece. May be a silver rider but its got a lot of corrosion on it. Found a halfpenny and the Philip V cob on the outer edge of the site. Some neat cast buttons and relics came out. I plan to go back for a few hours on Friday. Can't wait!
