I spent some time at the farm where I found the Militia plate that's my avatar. I have probably found 30 brass horse tack buckles on this farm and I got several more today along with a reins guide.
I consider this keyhole plate or escutcheon the find of the day. I have some more tooth picking and brushing left before I have it where I want it. It was only two inches deep in a real obvious spot and sounded like surface trash, but the farmer plowed this field two years ago, so depth really means nothing.
Here it is after I added a little wax to the high spots
late in the day I finally saw silver in my dirt pile. I snapped a picture before I touched it and was hoping for something older, but it was only a 1950 Washington. Still my first silver quarter this year, so I'll take it!
Here is the tally for the day. I'm not sure what the leafy thing is. I found it in the barnyard where most of the buckles are found. This the second one I have found here.
On Saturday I joined Thad and Louis at a site that Thad and I pounded pretty hard a couple years ago. My only noteworthy find was this marble that I eyeballed. It is really blue, so much so that light barely passes through it. Maybe I'll post it on the marble forum.
Happy hunting and stay safe everyone
