frozen cellar holes hunt*coppers! silver

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

we got into the trails at daybreak.stayed till dark.we found at least 10 cellar holes.a lot were tough digging but some were manageable.
sniffy struck first copper with a no date classic head half cent.he got a decent looking shoe buckle and a 189? ih .
george don't feel bad...sniffy dug for 15 mins chopping through ice only to get a 1967 clad quarter too
i dug a 1892 barber dime at one site.a shield shaped buckle? any ideas Dan or George? also a pewter shield shaped thingy that definitely was mounted to something
a piece of sterling silver knife handle.the broken watch fob says William.L Marcy under his portrait
i went the whole day saying to myself not gonna get a copper today :bangahead01:
10 mins before we were ready to call it a day ..BINGO got one.a 1845 coronet head large cent.
we had a good day!

You guys had a great day. Lots of good keepers there. A little bit of everything. Can't believe it's so frozen over there. We're supposed to get drenched with some rain Sunday / Monday. Maybe it will melt some of it....or it will freeze solid lol. Both them shields may just be horse hardware. I have some of those with the clips on the back and they are decorative pieces for a horse's leather. I'm assuming that buckle may just be the same. I have one just like it somewheres. I bet it felt good to see a copper jump out at ya

You did have a very good day out there, Dave. Those are some very nice finds and photos. thumbsup01 Seeing all of that snow is depressing though. :bangahead01: Hopefully it will all be gone soon.

Nice day out for you guys. Nice to see you both scored dealing with the frozen ground. I don't like chiseling through the ground. Happy you got your first one for the year..
