Folks, I'm still in shock and overjoyed! After work today I thought I'd get in a few hours of detecting since it was so nice out. I headed back to one of the yards I've been detecting, but never really gridded off thoroughly. Within about 20 minutes I had a strong signal in the front yard. I knew it was fairly big so I cut a decent sized plug. At about 5" deep, I reached in and pulled out one h-ll of a nice CW relic. I saw the "NC on the buckle right away and knew I had one piece of a two piece CW buckle. It is in fantastic condition too. I searched around a bit for the other half, but nothing yet. I will be back though, believe me.
When I got home, I looked it up in my CW relic book which stated that it is a "very rare" buckle.
Does anyone know the value of this NC buckle? I'm still in shock.
What type of soldier would have worn a buckle like this?
Now here's two other tidbits that make this find more exciting:
*I found it in an open area that DD-777 and Mirage had hit a few weeks back. I can't believe they missed it, but I'm truly thankful.
It must have been my Mighty Tesoro Umax.
*I found it next door to the yard I dug the CW "CSN" button awhile back.
Perhaps an officer lived here?
My other finds were:
* 1897 IH
*1964 Rosie
*Suspender clip (?) with stars & a design on it.
*Two wheats (45 & 52)
*Antique pocket watch.
A fantastic day indeed for Modern Miner.
Thanks for looking,
MM
P.S. YA-Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
