    GORGEOUS SILVERED COLONIAL SHOE BUCKLE*GROUP HUNT

    Dan invited us down for a group hunt to 3 of his sites.left to right is Jesse(sniffy)Dan (Del) me(heavymetalnut) Todd(Thiltzy) & Ray (Kray) from Va.
    we really had to work for our finds as these sites were hit pretty good in the past.i got a few buttons,a 1859 IH penny and the most ornate applied silver colonial shoe buckle i've ever dug.I used the fine brass bristled brush,with warm water & dish soap and it cleaned up beautifully.was a gorgeous day finally,and good to get back out with the guys.thanks Dan for the invite thumbsup01

    Dave, that shoe buckle is a beauty! I didn't realize at the time that it would clean up so well. Definately the find of the day. Your Indian head is a 1859 as was mine. awsome hunt

    Love the group picture! Thank you for sharing with us. I'd love to have my ugly mug included here one day.
    Just the chance to hunt with you folks, out there over the 'holy ground' you all get to search. Maybe someday.

    I don't always respond to your hunts Dave, but I religiously enjoy and look forward to your adventures. :->
