I got out yesterday for about 3 hours in what may be my last hunt for a while. I'm getting hand surgery on July 18th for carpal tunnel and some other issues, so I may be on the shelf until September. Anyway yesterday found me at one of my old stand by sites that I have hunted for years, but I can always find something here. First thing I got was the little doll head. I was digging a signal when I saw a little round white thing in the dirt. Thinking it was a piece of lead, I picked it up and saw it was a doll head. I moved into a new area that I haven't hit too hard in the past and got 3 buttons, a keg spigot which probably dates to the 1840s, a nickel plated suspender buckle, and an 182(8 or 9) half cent. The half cent, unfortunately, was in some harsh ground as you can see, and will be a real challenge to clean without losing the detail. But my favorite find was my last target - a suspender buckle in perfect condition with a running Buffalo. This buckle would probably date to the 1850s or 60s - just about the time the buffalos were being slaughtered by the millions out west.
