It was close to 10 inches in the ground, little over the top of my garret carrot. I had dug four holes in a row, pieces of alum fence tie wire all 5-6 inches down and in my plug. Then I popped out the next plug and signal still in the hole, got down with my hand held trowel and kept digging around the signal center them saw the back edge with some lead, I reached in flipped it over and there is was. I was shaking happy!

Thanks Casper! I always enjoy seeking your field and water finds. All those musket balls from last hunt were awesome

Sweet buckle, I would be tempted to have it restored and then I would wear it.
Congrats on a great find.
