Our very own Lodge Scent has longI MEAN INSPIRED me to focus my detecting prowess on capturing the market on all the shoe buckles in the land ! Well at least in Connecticut !
Challenge accepted Jeff
Yesterday (Sunday) was chilly in the morning but overall still very mild here in New England and I have been trying to take full advantage of it.We had a good size group going so we picked out an area that had about three cellars and lots of overgrown farm fields and pens . Sites have been hit pretty hard over the years but with so much room to swing and wander and that many coils some of us stood a good chance to find something good .
It wasn't long Donnie and I made our way to a small little cellar on the edge of the property where I got thisnot far from it
its the third shoe buckle this year , second complete one when first dug but the iron quickly deteriorated once it dried out
it looked like this once the initial cleaning
A little later on i then find thisa nice little knee buckle that my friend Ron first noticed the "shiny"
that cleaned up pretty well
So just to recap and to thank Jeff for his "encouragement "
