Brian and Dan invited me to a few of Dan's sites that have been kind to him. These were beautiful sites with as many pens as I've ever seen. I wish I took some pics of the walls as they were breathtaking...but when I'm hunting, I'm hunting :lol: I'm no photojournalist. :grin:
Brian brought the awesome buckle he found this week :daydream: and it started us talking about digging buckles. What they sound like, how deep, how rare, etc. Little did I know I'd join him with a complete colonial shoe buckle this week. So we hike in maybe a half mile through some really thick New England bush, then like magic Dan brings us to a place that opened up like Shangri-La Dee Da (a la Flintstones for those old enough) :loveit:. I found most of this stuff in one pen, I'm glad I took off in that direction :)
I love picked pens where, in areas, you hear iron every swing. That buckle will be splendid after I clean it. Thanks for the invite and I hope you guys made out after I left!:canada:

Very very nice complete shoe buckle Drew :cheering::cheering: bet you wished now we were talking about pine tree schillings before instead :lol: that is super find , you definitely had the hot coil for relics . I 'm glad you save that buckle , who knows how many more centuries it would of sat there until you found it . :congrats:
 
Wow Drew, that is a nice buckle. Ornate like the piece in the top left. Guessing it's part of another buckle but it has the same shape as a bottle opener. Or were you cracking open some summer beers? lol. That lamp part is destroyed. What's with the Canadia kick lately? Did you sense some impending altercation like out in Putnam so you bolted early again? :lol:
 
:) Thanks everyone!!
Jim, :lol: I never thought of bringing refreshments on the hunt. I'd probably fall into a well and break my glutinous maximus :lol:
I think that is a suspender part which is missing the three prongs that would be on a rotating pin. ...and what's wrong with Canada?!:huh::lol::canada:
 
That's a fantastic buckle Drew! It was awesome to see it still packed with dirt. Your description of the jaunt in is spot-on. I was amazed at how open much of the site was.
It was great hunting with you guys again! Looking forward to the next one.
 
Glutinous maximus? You think you are overweight? Lol. I am sure someone has already done a hunt with some "refreshments". Why do you think we find the cans later on? Oh, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK00KESZ-YA. Hahaha. Jk. I was merely pointing out within the past few weeks your posts been boasting Canadian pride and I didn't know where all the sudden it came from. It was quite sporadic.
 
Thanks all! :lol: Stupid spell checker, not glutinous, but GLUTEUS maximus.
Although glutinous just reminded me of a story from this past hunt. I'm sitting on a rock eating my second meal of the hunt and am joined by Brian and Dan. I tell Dan about a copper piece I had just found. I look in my pouch but can't find it. Oh well...30 min later I swing over something on the surface then suddenly realize it's where I was eating and must have dropped that piece in the leaves. I pick it up again and put it in my pouch. When I got home that darn thing was lost AGAIN!! :lol:

Here is the buckle posing with his brother...his brother still has the champion patina, but the pin on this new one is not iron!

Tony Two-Cent recently exposed me to Canada's many attributes, that's all Jim :canada:

Click to expand...

Sounds like your Chinese cash coin...which ended up in your button collection. As far as falling out while hunting, maybe you need a new pouch cuz apparently it has a hole in it somewhere.
