Todd's friend Tom got us permission to search a cellar hole on private property.the owner was a super cool guy and took us right out to the site.My very 1st target was a 1844 Large cent.quite a few good targets I recovered without my pinpointer.i left it in the car a mile away :hystericallaugh:
next was a patriotic civil war token with flag of our country on front.back is the DIX in circle variety but it's pretty toasted and didn't clean it any further.
a cool one pice button with a ring attached to shank L.B.Jones backmark.a flat button,a small chape from a smaller colonial buckle, a front of a civil war "Infantry" cuff button and my find of the day was a ornate applied silver colonial shoe buckle frame.the iron guts were trying to hang on but it just disintigrated in my hand when cleaning it.no chance of saving them
:bummer:
Todd took the cherry off the cake today with his spectacular find!

very nice shoe buckle Dave , you've had some nice ones this year . congrats on a fine hunt
 
Nice bunch of finds Dave. That buckle sparkles :lol: Nice coppa too. Did you even keep all of 2013 separate from the other years? It must be your best year so far.
 
That's a beautiful buckle, Dave! It's amazing how nice silver shines up after 200+ years in the ground!

Nice looking large cent too!
