Well 40 yrs of never giving up finally added a very elusive treasure to my collection.. This is a follow up on a site I detected last spring...
I'll post the pictures of about 2 days of hunting and what I was lucky enough to recover.. Enjoy and HH to you all.. My Christmas is complete... :-))
A special thanks to Andrew at New England Metal Detectors..
Sonny :cool:

Oh my gosh!! Man you really tore it up out there. Many many congrats. Thanks for stopping by and having lunch with me when you passed through Abilene. It was a pleasure to meet you and I am so glad you did so well out West. A merry Christmas indeed my friend.
 
:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:
yep you officially make me sick...:laughing: Congrats.. when you texted me I thought oh man!! The buckle is epic man just epic.. People don't realize how hard it is to find relics like that where we are.. Hat's off to you!!! King's to you...
 
Great finds! a plate with the paws and hook attached ! and I would put money on the fact somebody was doing a happy dance lol. Happy days to be sure
 
@ bigstemz, thanks I appreciate it..

@ JB, Thanks.. I think now I'm spoiled..

@ Sonny B, Thank you..
It was a pleasure meeting up for lunch..
The food was awesome..
Still hoping we can make a hunt in the future..

@ Evan, thank you..
I think it's quite a find and I feel very lucky I found it..
It made a big dent in my Bucket List.. :shock:
 
Great finds! a plate with the paws and hook attached ! and I would put money on the fact somebody was doing a happy dance lol. Happy days to be sure

Yes I was, it was a long dance..
I stared at it for a couple of minutes before I turned it over with my fingers crossed..
Then the dance was on.. Not to say I wouldn't have danced anyways..
Thanks...:yes:
 
Good for you ! , what cartridge do you have there ? And the I is a neat piece to find, will make a great display case item lol

Not sure what calibers I have yet..
I can't make them out..

If you go to my albums you will see 2 "G" insignia's I found on my last trip out..
There were a company I and G here so I expect it was from them on one of their Indian campaigns..
From what I have read..
Thanks
