Another insane weekend but managed to go to the cellar hole down the street from me for a couple hours Sunday morning just to get out for a while. My plan was to experiment with some settings to see if I could sniff any more deep goodies from the iron belt right around the cellar hole. Dug a lot of iron is what I did. All those deep iffy signals turned out to be square nails.
On the trail back out I dug this small shoe buckle. I almost passed on it. I was so shallow I would have bet money it was a flattened can or some other junk. It was just below the duff. Really no more than an inch or so down. Both chape and tongue swing freely on the pin.
No idea what that small iron wedge thing is to the right below. The blade is thick and has a slight curve to it. And what would be the purpose of that rectangular hole ??
