Man you just gotta dig!

[ticm]

I needed a detecting fix this am and went out for a hunt. I figured I would head to a old site I did once before. Well I get there and the place was like digging in concrete. We need rain. So I give it up and head home. While doing so I saw a small hunk of woods next to a few old houses. So I stop and have at it. I thought at least I won't do any harm digging.

The ground is just as dry and digging just plain sucked. I did get a few good keepers that kept me interested. A buff. nickel, a William penn token and the other stuff. I got a over load signal with a v.d.i. of 84 on my V3i. Not more then a couple of inches down I dig out this buckle. So now I am holding this in my hand and thinking what the hell is this doing here. I took a pic with my phone.

At this point I left because I get to excited when I find something cool and I don't concentrate on what I am doing. I packed it up and went home.





























Thank you

Great finds! I hear you about the ground. I pride myself on clean plugs that are hard to find after I leave, but this stuff lately just crumbles and makes it pretty difficult.

WTG, Ticm!! Love the buckle...awesome find! What is the item on the left? Looks like an old time light fixture, the kind that you could plug another appliance into it.

US Cav one would assume and not I'm sure what year they wore that style? But a horse wagon may have stomped it? Sure hate to be wearing buckle with that much pressure to dent it.... Great find....

Way to go! Congrats on the buckle find. If I am ever lucky enough to find a buckle like that, hard ground or not, you can bet I will be digging there the rest of the day (jack hammer and all)
