    New site still showing promise

    After a quick trip to Farmer's Market (sweet corn <: ) this morning I resumed my hunt at a site I first stepped on last night.
    The humidity and absolute lack of any breeze sent me packing after about 90 minutes.

    More wheats (1920's - 40's) came out very willingly. However the ground was a bit stingy giving up the silver. One Merc
    found it's way into my pocket though.


    Also recovered a couple of relics. I'm very happy with this pin. The stone is quite brilliant. I have no idea of the date on
    the buckle. So if anyone has a thought, I'd certainly like to hear about it.


    I'm looking forward to a return trip after this heat and humidity breaks. This week we are forecasted to be in the mid 90's. crying01

    Great finds Joe! It must be exciting heading to a new site like that and have it producing so much! Bet you'll be there at 6am tomorrow? I would! I know what you mean on the heat. I was out in the woods with jeans and long sleeves doused in bug repellent for over two hours today, what was I thinking! I'll be posting my finds soon. Congrats again and good luck on future visits!

    Hey, you struck silver at that place Nice thumbsup01 Them &quot buckles are impossible to date. They can be from any age. We get a lot from the mid 1800's and they are probably still being used today lol There were quite a few of them on a horse >:/ They are scrap brass for me lol

    Yeah, that's what I kind of thought. Sometimes you guys pull them out and identify them as 1800's and I wondered what tips you off. I've pulled several this year and just assume they are not old. The one I found could be from the 1980's for all I know. lol
