    Hello to the Forum

    From South Louisiana and have gotten back into detecting 3 years ago after 30 year absence. Running Etrac with stock coil and looking to add Deus to the mix. Relic hunting mainly sugar cane fields and private land along west side of the Mississippi south of Baton Rouge. Good mix of recovered items with my oldest to date being an 1802 large cent. Looking forward to the forum posts. Thanks for having me.

    Two piece brass buckle that appears to have been a dress buckle. No military insignias at all and the halves are slightly mismatched. One half has wreath pattern while the other half is slick finish.

    Welcome back to the hobby and to this forum. Sounds like you and I are the same person. It has been 25 years since I got back into the hobby and I just started back up last year. A lot of great people on this forum. Pictures of your awesome finds would be great for all to see!!
