Hey All,
Went back to my sight that I found the musketballs and my avatar pic from 2 years ago. The British camped around here at one time. This time I used the V3 at Relic mode. The Machine told me the max RX was 5 so I bumped it to 7 and changed the swing speed to 5ghz (Slow High Mineral swing) The first hit was the shoe buckle around 2 inches stuck in small thin roots. I cannot age the buckle but I believe it is old.

About and hour later I had this huge hit which hit around a +75-80 VDI. It told me 3 inches I went 3 inches and there was about a 6 inch thick tree root. I was praying that it was not in the tree root. So about 20 minutes I finished cutting through the root. Still no target. I went over it again, it was telling me the same thing 3 inches. I decided to dig deeper.

At about 8 inches I found these round lead targets. They were all together in 1 hole. I Have no idea what they are. Can anyone tell me what they are? I appreciate all your help.

Nice going on the shoe buckle! Don't know what the other tings are...I don't think they are buttons, but maybe they were strung together for some purpose.?
 
:hello:

I would say that the lead pieces are make shift buttons, made to replace lost buttons :)

Forgot to say the Buckle style Dates from the 1600s :read2: also that in 1630 in Massachussets an ancient law was passed that womens dresses should be made so long as to hide their shoe buckles :o

SS i think that law is still on the books :laughing9:

And in Paris today, there is a law prohibiting women from wearing pants.

(sorry to hijack your thread, Pat!)
