Yesterday's Hunt

[The Rebel]

Got out yesterday to what I thought was a new site but turned out it was one that I've been to before. Totally overgrown with barberries & prickers. I decided to wade in to see what I might find & was rewarded with the small tombac button as well as the buckle. I got pretty scratched up and finally had enough with the struggle and went to another site & nabbed the 2 other buttons.

While I was at the 2nd site I looked at lidar & saw what might be another potential site & hiked off to it & was rewarded with the larger button. The sun was beginning to get lower in the sky so I hiked out & will visit it another day.

HH & Thanksgiving guys!

Liking the buckle. Congrats
That's one design that I have never found.
That site needs a burn off, or a visit with a bush hog.

I've had to detect with the coil totally vertical using the front edge to get between the undergrowth.

I have never used lidar to search for new sites to investigate. Would you mind giving a brief explanation of how you access and use it ?

Very cool finds, congrats!
That brush is crazy thick. Good for you to be able to pull finds in that.
