Hiked out to one of my favorite remote sites for some R&R and peace and quite.

Good signals from my detector interrupted my peace and quiet a few times. Managed an 1818 Matron. That is my most common LC vintage with 6.

Dug this nicely shaped chape. I am guessing it's likely from a knee buckle ?? I am hoping Bucklemeister Dan can ID it for me.

I was expecting ticks to be out in force but they weren't.

That's a great looking area Jeff pretty open and serene , I have a few sites like that and they are a real treat just to revisit . The buckle chape is to a knee buckle and speaking of common coins mine is the 1831 large cent as I have about 5 of them and for some strange reason all are in nice shape !:confused::dontknow:. congrats

Can't beat that! Nice day at the office! I'm going to go see if I have 1831s. Edit- I have three of them, all in pretty good shape.
