Nice relics Trapperart. Looks like you had enough targets to keep it interesting. I'm still looking for my 1st heel plate.

I'm curious, just how many of these things do you find ? You said you're finding them every where.

I find a lot in farm fields, about the same ratio as harm. reeds.

The reason I ask is cause they look a lot like those gizmos that were used to hold slate roofs together.

I think I have found at least one in every field I've hunted
