Shoe Buckle , copper and buttons
This is what was on the menu for yesterdays colonial cellar hunt with Ill Digger (Tim) , TrooperBri (Brian) , MangoAve (Jim) and myself . We met at 7:30 for a short meet and greet and then proceeded to a site OxShoeDrew generously let us detect :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: ( your going to be getting many more invites soon to make it up :lol::yes: ) . All though the site had been detected a few times I was confident it still had plenty of nice finds to offer .
It was a great day for detecting the fall colors are in full swing and all of us had some great finds (I won't spoil it for any ones posts ;)). I managed a couple of buttons right off the bat (the large dandy and smaller flat buttons) then later along a slope I get a screaming coin tone from about 7 inches deep :shocked03:> I call Tim over to hear it , he gives me the smile , shakes his head and says thats a great signal there and watches me start to dig it :yes:. i get to the depth and we see no target and no sound from my vibraprobe :thinkingabout:. i stand up and :detecting:swing the coil over the hole and its still screaming , I give him a smile and say I may have a shoe buckle here!!:happydance01::happydance01: about five inches deeper we see the green edge of the buckle , Tim lets out a oh my gosh !! as i pull the shoe buckle out all intact .
