Our very own Lodge Scent has long I 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 this not 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 this a 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 "
