Thanks Cap'n, no silver this time but I thought the finds interesting and in some cases old enough to post, the stamped buckle is probably 1800s, but the spectacle is much older. The diversity of finds in this farm is incredible, and should be. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original land grant was 3300 acres, this field is about 500. I was glad to find anything of interest, but after over 6 miles of walking I should have found something. ? That view from the top of the hill is unusual here, this is all coastal plain. I wish I could have done better with the photo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please thank your wife for me! I think she nailed it. ?? We had one of those in our misc kitchen stuff drawer that my mother had for as long as I can remember. I never knew what it was. After yours and JCR's post, I told my wife that I finally figured out what that weird thing in the drawer was. She just looked at me and said, "Well, duh"... ? I'll never figure out why women assume we know what they know. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have their T handle Barracuda which only digs 6". Far less intimidating. ? They're very tough shovels and cut through roots like a hot knife through butter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you swing the Deus. Thanks LC. I can't say enough good about that detector, for sure anything else would give me muscle cramps in my arm. Sadly Relic season is winding to a close. ?

I have been using the Predator tools Raptor for years and it's the best shovel for New England woods. ?? Nice Hunt!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
