My Sweet Wife had to work until 2:00pm today, and it was ice raining. I decided to go jump in the creek and hunt another old swimming area I was told about. On the way there I passed this old house that I've always wanted to hunt and there was a car there. Hit the breaks and turned around. An 80+ year old man answered the door and said his Brother had hunted the whole place, but if I wanted to give it a try, go for it.
After 2 hours and only finding one wheat Penny and one new penny I was getting a little discouraged. I only had a small square of the front yard left to hunt that was about 15' x 15'.
After working up the first side close to the tree and the road Bam!! A sweet sounding signal on My Ctx. Only 3" deep and there it was. This is what makes this Hobby so addictive. You never know what You'll get Your coil over. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!! Oh I almost forgot-----"Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!"
And Yes that's ice on My bumper.

And so You know, insulated chest waders and long johns make great hunting in snow and ice in the water, and it's in the water and not frozen solid plus no swimmers.

Thought both Sword Plates were the same, but I have two different types.

Beautiful find! :occasion14:
 

What era is the buckle, war of 1812, civil war?
 

Great finds. Another reason I don't get to discouraged if I'm told it's already been searched.

Same here! I take that as a challenge, and I think ALL detectorists should adapt that motto"Not hunted out until I hunt it!

Congrats OP, that buckle is amazing!
 

Civil War
 

That is awesome congrats!
 

DAMN I WANT WHAT HE IS HAVING . NICE DAMN PLATE FIND>
 

Killer find indeed! Another great piece of history saved.
 

I found that exact same tootsie toy. But forget that! Huge CONGRATS on that amazing relic!
 

Booyahh!

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny
