I finally got out a bit

[smokeythecat]

Went to a newly disced field and found 2 dropped minie balls, a colonial flat button, a small lead disc with a hole in it, a small brass buckle which I promptly lost, no kidding, and my BEST find, a hand forged railroad spike one of the Confederates (probably) lost at that camp site. I will get pics...eventually. I would like to find the buckle...also maxed out on aluminum in a few places.

Glad you got out, Smokey! Sounds like you had a good hunt. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Glad you got a chance to get out and it sounds like a pretty good spot.

I'll get the pics in a few minutes. Nothing monumental but WHERE did I drop that little rectangular buckle?

Should use a metal detector.

Sorry... couldn't help myself

:P

Come on smokes... that was funny...

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, it was funny. Busy sanitizing my FedEx delivery.



The spike, lead disc about 1/2", piece of harmonica reed, flat button (tombac) and two slightly different minie balls.

Well where is the buckle ? ? ?

We all wanna see the buckle... it only sounded like a super rare one of a kind buckle that was made for George Washington.

At least I am hoping for you

 

[smokeythecat]

The buckle must be back at the farm.

Nice finds, Smokey. Now, get back out there and find that brass buckle. We all want to see it. Thanks for sharing.

I'll probably go Tuesday. Rain is forecast for tomorrow.

Nice !!!! Congrats!!!

 

[smokeythecat]

Better than nothing. Some days are better, some not. These were EASY targets over an area we had been over. LOVE that farmer!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice finds Smokey. Hope you can find your buckle.

 

[smokeythecat]

It's not a specific military type. It's the $3 kind, and I will probably be able to find it. I'm the only one with permission for the site.

Nice finds!
