those last sites were tough :badday:you had to really work for them ! the heat , humidity and bugs were awful :hairpulling: , that one old cellar was pretty far off the beaten path and I couldn't believe it was so quiet . I one dug one target there for the few hours we were there.

Dave love the finds. It really has been one of the toughest season to find productive sites. Seems we've all pounded these places to death. The heat & humidity has really made the air quality extremely poor.

What's that prong tingy, a pitchfork?

That square buckle with the oval floral pattern, and the button after it are beautiful finds Dave. You forgot to post that sweet Buck knife you found.

No one noticed your smiley? Lol. Nice finds. The floral buckle is sweet. The two piece button is sweet too. If the prong piece must be old if it is a pitch fork. It looks like it attaches similar to the old spear tips with the fact it has a hole toward the back.

Idk... I have over 100 places (not all are cellar holes tho but a fair amount are), generalized around just my area and not the whole state, but I just haven't gotten to many of them.
