Sniffy came down my way and we hit the cellar hole i dug the knee buckle & LC at.not much left there.
rain was coming down in buckets and i was drenched.off to another cellar hole ,dug a iron chape from a colonial buckle,sniff didnt want the axe head. then my machine crapped the bed.water in it :crying02: battered,broken & wet we put our tails between our legs and headed back to my house. then sun started pokin through.sniff goes wanna hit that green grab your other machine?
:drool: OK i said and we were off! 3 hours we spent at green. a colonial cloak button was the 1st target(had a flowered design on it),, some clad ,a wheatie, a enameled ring (even inside is enamel) and a real cool old broken firemans cufflink.couldn't find the connecting piece in the hole. got home and tried my machine.IT WORKS! good ole White's! :grin:

Love the LC!!!! :smitten:
I sure wish they were just a tiny bit easier to find here in the middle of the country. I am up to a whopping copper count of 1. :embarrassed: lol
As always, nice finds.

Nice looking finds you got there. Congrats on the cloisonne ring. When my DFX used to get wet or frozen on occasion, :frozen: it would usually fire right back up after it dried (or heated) up lol I left an axe head at the last place I was at too >:# Can you get it for me Dave? lol Glad you got out, even though it rained you out a bit.
