Buckle, button, copper slab...

got in a 4 hour hunt on sat. Yes it was cold! the ground was frozen to about 1 and 1/2 inch mark. managed to find a buckle and button, a glass stopper with metal top, and a copper disk that may have been a 'flying cent'.

I think my EX II was wondering what the heck we were doing outside in those temps, esp. as sun set. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
p.s. I thought I had dug some melted spanish gold cobs but when I got them home and cleaned them - they were golf ball sized melted lead hunks. Sorry no pics from the field! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">

referring to melted spanish gold cobs is a joke. Somebody on White's forum posted a copy of a gold cob just dug and I guess didn't fool us. hence my p.s. in above post.
I did dig some rather large hunks of melted lead on Sat. but they could never be mistaken for gold unless you were drunk.
