Second Sword Belt Plate In a Week...Found another buckle but need info!!!

[lovedigging]

Found a hotspot last Wednesday, a 20x20 yard square that was my best dig yet. I dug 23 bullets and an officers sword belt plate in the 3 hours I was there. This evening I was able to return with my brother and dig some more. I hit the first signal a few minutes after we stepped out of the vehicle. When I dug it was an Indian head nickle, but we were unable to locate the date on the coin. Soon after I dug my first full spenser bullet of the day. Once we hit my hotspot, my brother dug what we believe to be a handcuff key. An incredible find! We had been there for about an hour and had dug quite a few bullets between us when I hit a really good signal. When I popped the circle of dirt out I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but it looked like the corner of yet another buckle. I called my brother over and we took pictures as the digging progressed. I was sure glad my brother could join me tonight to be a part of all the incredible things we dug. He had to leave early so I stayed on and took advantage of every possible minute of daylight. I'm glad I did as I ended up digging up the heart buckle, more bullets and another full spenser bullet. I can't find the heart buckle in Crouch's "bible" so if anyone has any information please let me know.

I'm glad I got to join you (even though I couldn't stay long) and thanks for taking me to your spot again.

Thanks to some of the others for already posting the info on the heart item.

That Sir, is an impressive array of finds!
Those cartridges, being intact definitely proves your on top a hotspot.
Are you gridding the area, digging all sounds?

OMG,wow!!! What an awesome find. It's absolutely beautiful. It looks to be in almost perfect shape. May I ask how deep and what VDI did it ping at? I have an XLT and have been detecting on a very old farm. That truly is just one of the great finds. I'm down in williamsburg, I now have renewed hope, . Thanks for sharing.

Nice finds! Too bad those silver wreaths never stayed on those plates long... First buckle for you, or are you a buckle Veteran? If it's your first, welcome to the club!

And those complete spencers are top-notch. They are an excellent find--and their value speaks to the fact that they don't come up intact very often.


Bravo!
