Good evening T-Net Nation-
Tried out a new piece of woods this afternoon that borders a small pond and swamp. Good signals were quite scarce. Most of the solid signals were lead, shotgun shells, and the occasional bottle cap. Finally came across a booming high tone on a slope overlooking the water. Intact shoe buckle!

That was the highlight of the day. The buckle is in absolutely beautiful shape and cleaned up nicely. Thought it was worthy of a little "red carpet" treatment

I detected a spot just like yours. Didn’t find squat unfortunately.
