A good day to get out

[del]

I hit a cellar hole with Donnie B and Heavymetalnut early before a scheduled club hunt and managed to get my coil over two coppers66389 and a few buttons. I had a great time at the YTC/ARNE club hunt due to the fact the pressure was off because of the coins found earlier. lots of friends and laughs and the finds were good too66385. A big shout out to Jeff calzarette for organizing this hunt at a 1200 acre Boy Scout camp! The area we focused was a newly acquired piece of property that had a standing 1740 era home 66384My highlights were my first complete wrought iron colonial stirrup , a huge silver plated shoe buckle frame that was found about 10 inches down surrounded by iron nails (Dave helped me pull nails out of the hole , thanks Mr. Wise) , a nice little watch winder 66386 66387 66388and 3rd copper of the day (hat trick) .66395An old 1954 dog license 66390and religious medal 66391and some odds and ends ( silver plated Victorian era spoon a colonial door jamb escutcheon , musket ball an a couple more buttons) 66392 66393 last picture shows the large plated buckle I found on this hunt and an older (smaller) one to shoe difference in size of these buckles in about a 100 years span.66394

Absolutely awesome day, Dan! You killed it in the finds department. I got to see you pull yet another copper out of your hat. You need to teach me that trick! I didn't know that was a door escutcheon. That's cool! Great day and a very fun day!

Great finds Del! I recognize a couple faces in the group photo. I got to say those buckles are SWEET! That little one is 100 times nicer than anything I've dug over here! Great job and pics. Best wishes and happy hunting, Dave.

Yes we were Drew that large piece of open land just south of where that little buckle was found , the standing farm house was right on RT44 . Jim , looked good and had a good day as well with two coppers and some other interesting items. In fact I think he found the first coin in Doug's video . Thanks
