3rd Year Relic Hunting and 1st Belt Plate

[Mason Jarr]

This is the third season I've hunted this private permission. I've found some good relics there, but its been mainly bullets, cartridges, buttons and a few odds and ends. But today I turned a plug and to my surprise I saw a whole Model 1874 enlisted belt buckle. There's quite a bit of iron scattered around so I was using my Etrac in two tone ferrous mode and digging all high signals. As I recall, the signal came through as a 7-42, but I was so excited I'm honestly not sure. I've always wanted to find one, but didn't think it would ever happen. I'm stoked. It even makes the hot weather seem tolerable.

Okay. As soon as I get it cleaned a bit. Lots of crusty dirt on it.
