Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !!
I Hit the shore for the new moon low tides,
after an hour of learning the history of fishing sinkers, & digging some toasty coins,
I got a loud signal, depth meter maxed out,
figured I'd be pulling out a piece of copper sheathing...
about 16" down in the sand was a nice heavy cast buckle
looking to be 1650-1720 style.
edges of the pin terminals show significant wear,
I think this piece adorned several shoes before being lost.
This heavy casting is in high contrast to one I dug last week,
which was large, but a thin and delicate design.
Good enough for me! packed it in & headed home, was 40 degrees, rain & wind...
This seems to be my pattern lately, hunt an hour or two,
score a goodie, and time to go ;D
Best to you all! Thanks for looking & HH!
