Got out Danny on Sunday to hit some cellar holes. It was a great day for digging in March. I love the weather we have been having this year. The day started slow for me and I only made a couple of finds before our lunch break including this possible International Order of Odd Fellows silver plated (lead backed) rosette.After we stopped to eat lunch I went back to the cellar hole because I kept telling myself that there had to be a coin next to the hole. This hole was filled with trash from the 30's or 50's (I suppose). By the way, I hate to detect around cellar holes filled with trash.
I didn't find the coin I was looking for but I did make a unique find. I found a watch chain with FOUR watch winders!
Danny had found the outside ring of a pocket watch case on the other side of the hole earlier. I didn't find the coin I was looking for but I did make perhaps my most unusual find at a cellar hole (no doubt due to the trash dump). It was a McCain / Palin campaign button!
Late in the day I made my final great find and it was my FOURTH colonial shoe buckle this year!
It's another plain "working man's" buckle but it's a different design than my other ones and it still has a piece of thread attached to one end of the cross bar.
