Back To The Old Virgin Site

[The Rebel]

Got out for a few hrs today to my old virgin site as the soil is really damp allowing me to dig deeper.

Was able to nab a few more goodies.

Dug this knee buckle which was 7-8" deep down in the bayberry​

Dug an IH (1863) which is the 1st coin from the 1800's I've dug here today, as everything else is 1700's.

There are some great finds. Love all the gold color left on that button!

Nice little buckle! Sweet button too. Not often do they keep their gilding like that.

Man, I wish I had a site like that to hunt! Wonderful finds! That button with the gilt is beautiful. The knee buckle is very cool as well, as is the fatty Indian Head.

Good job! :clapping:

To many good finds...:thumbsup02:. You mentioned that the IH was the 1st 1800's coin while all the rest have been 1700's. I was doing this field long ago and I had gotten about 8 or so seated dimes. Got a dime signal, naturally thought another seated, nope ROSIE....ugh

What a great site, and congrats on more nice relics! I've never found a complete colonial shoe buckle as of yet. The little gold gilted button is a beauty.

Fancy frame, Roger! Have you kept totals for that site?
