Military Brass Buckle - nope here's a pic
I was metal detecting a very old vacant lot that the city is going to turn into a park and I started detecting military brass buckles all over the ground without the ammo web belt and there most be thousands of them laying an inch in the ground. Everytime I though I had a high coin signal it was another brass buckle so after about 15 minutes I just left. Now am thinking is the brass used in the ammo web belt solid brass and is it worth detecting when they are coming up three at a time or is it the same value as detecting zinc pennies? Am sure there has to be over a hundred pounds of these buckles, also thinking about going back and setting my detector to block out dimes and quarters and dig pennies signals but I think there's to many buckles laying around.
