Trooper, Del and I walked up a long woods road looking for a site...any site but we didn't find any, so luckily we ended up a 1/4 mile away from a site I found some weeks ago. We all scored back then when the ferns were up, so we tried it again and did well. I left the boys at lunch time as I had/have some stuff to accomplish.
I stayed within a 50-foot radius for most of the morning, a place I had already hit last time we were there. I was hoping I had a tongue laying around that I could add to that buckle, but I didn't. I have many chapes, and some chapes connected to tongues, but no single tongues. Fascinating, I know.
The IH is an 1882. Thanks for looking!
PS I dug the clad coin spill about 20yrds from where I dug a 1720s Hibernia last time
