On Sunday, Al and I headed out, of course he again needed a bit more time, so I went back to where I had dug the large coppers the day before, no such luck, but did manage a few bucks in Clad while I waited for him. We went out and hit some field we were hitting last year, it was cold :frozen: and the finds.....what finds?...all I found was a bird nest...so we left for a bit. We went to a local town hall that Al wanted to hit that they are doing some work on. I was hesitant, and there was a cop sitting in his car right next to it. So I approached the cop and told him our intentions, he said it was not a problem, just cover your holes.....cool, I felt MUCH better. We were not there long but I scored a silver Roosie.
We Went back to the fields, I had a nice silver hit. Toook awhile to find it Pulled out this thin what I believe to be a buckle that was literally up and down like this (I) in the dirt about 6 inches down. I at first didn't see any markings, I asked Al what he thought, we both believed it to be silver, then I saw the stamp..Sterling :happydance01:. Hunted for awhile......and awhile...nothing coming up...getting tired and cold :frozen:...and hungary....then a interesting hit 12-21/24, was thinking something other than what came out, glad I dug...186? indian...well that completed my series for the weekend...but still missing that flying eagle.
