Great find. That F75 is performing well for you. Keep at it!! HH, Quindy in Tennessee where we went from a drought to getting over 7 inches of rain and flash floods in the last 36 hours.

That buckle you dug about a minute into your video is a colonial 1700s buckle--probably shoe, but could be a knee buckle.


That soil there must be awful good on copper coins.
