  1. Some nice finds ,,,,and GOLD too ! 

    All meteorites are just cool , and also alien space invaders that we get to capture . 

    Looks like you had some company out there .....🥸

    I bet the goat was tough to dig up , and what was the target ID on the turtle ?😁 

     

  2. Welcome aboard Daniel !

    Congrats on yer first gold !👍

    You can count this forum as your second nugget.

    Ask questions as you get them....

     

    Did Gerry show you where he gets all those "jawbreakers" ?😉

  3. I found a 4 hole brass button several years ago that I didn't think was very old but have since used it to replace a lost button. 

    I think if I found any that old that were still whole I would want to re use them on a shirt or jacket . I realize I could lose one ,,,but then I could look for it again !!!!

    Wondering if anyone else has done this? 

    Did the thread break up when you checked it out or was it still strong ?

    I do leather stitching by hand sometimes and thread that lasted that long would be something that I'd be interested in learning about as much as the button itself !

     

  4. My friend has one of those for his garden that he brings sometimes and now I use a bigger version.  (link below)  The notched tip is also sharpened.

      (The Hori is much lighter on the "Batman Accessory" belt though . But mine is easier to find...) 🙃

    GREAT for most lawns , but dry hard clay or rocky soil , not so much. I love it for digging under roots too !    Zero (almost) trace dig holes for targets ~6"/15cm or less on manicured lawn permissions.  I use it to make a slit in the turf that I spread apart and excavate with a small plastic trowel onto a piece of heavy plastic . The knife can be used to dig as well.  Yes there is pinpointing involved🥸

     Easy to dump it all back in the hole by folding the plastic in half  push the slit back together.  Maybe pack it down with my boot .

      I have trouble finding where I dug most of the time.🧐
