few finds

[del]

Last Sunday out with Donnie B , all my finds came from the last site in the last hour or two . The highlight was a complete conestoga bell that still rings great :cheering:and a complete small shoe buckle frame . Donnie got the coins this weekend and I got the last minute relics !

That bell is awesome, really cool find.

That bell is a great find, still top of my relic bucket list. Nice show buckle too!

[Donnie B]

We had a great time and need to hit that spot again. There has to be some coins laying around there. I had to smile when Danny found the bell out in the woods and started ringing it! :lolsign: It's always a great time and thank you again, Danny! Oh and yeah, Danny almost ALWAYS finds a shoe buckle! Nice One! :congrats:

That bell is awesome Del! I would think if you're cellar hole hunting and dig a Rosie it would be a HUGE let down! GL & HH, Dave.

That frame is an oldie, Dan! Never found a conestoga with the clapper still intact! :clapping:

Fantastic bell and it still rings. When you get back out there maybe Donnie will leave you some coins..:lol:.

[Donnie B]

Danny found the coins the week before including the first Spanish Silver I ever saw come out of the ground at a cellar hole! That Sunday his DFX was on fire and I'm thinking my machine is broken! :shocked03: He found all the good targets and I drove home with two musket balls in my pockets. :envious:

Do you need new headphones now? Wow! That bell must of blew the speakers right out! That's a big'n!
With that many relics at the last spot, I'd imagine that there's a return visit planned for sometime?
Congrats on the keepers Dan!😁
Do you put the shoe buckle frame in the 1600s or 1700s?

Finding them with the iron clangger is very uncommon Chris , thanks

between it and the two "D" buckles so close to each other I heard them all on the first swing and I first though I had a coinspill as they were all "screamers"

Dave its is such a huge let down the Lincoln memorial at the first site where Donnie got his Mass copper was almost insulting :lol: Thanks

This is only the second conestoga bell that freely rings that I've recovered , Thank you

Donnie has been riding that "newbie luck" I've seen a lot with new colonial hunters , his excitement is infectious and fun to watch and I hope it continues for him . Thanks Al

Tim the buckle was another deep coin like target and once I hit the depth my machine said and no target I had a good idea it was a shoe buckle , I bet it is a 1740's to 1750's example by its smallish size and slight curvature . The bell was very loud and was the second best sounding target I had all day up to that moment and I was really hoping it wasn't another Lincoln memorial :crossfingers::lol:

Hey Dan, congrats! Like the bell! Always near the top of my favorite finds!

[catskillcomics]

Like everyone else here.. Love that bell. I've found some bells in the past but never intact.. what a great find! (psst. check your PM) :)

[calabash digger]

that's one cool find , congrats.

[Mr. Digger]

You guys are on some good spots down there in CT. Congrats!

[Lodge Scent]

Nice digs Dan. Never found a conestoga with the "clanger" still in it.

[BTV Digger]

Way to go Dan! I find it better to finish strong than to start strong and finish weak any day. :) You snagged a great conestoga and congrats sir! The two I've found don't have the clacker and it seems by the posts I've read online that complete ones like yours are more uncommon.

[Digger Don]

Those are some awesome finds Dan.

Love that bell. Great Find!!!
