Title: My First Buckle!!! Post by: Phoenix on July 22, 2012, 11:13:57 AM Just as I was giving up hope of ever finding anything of interest, unless you are passionate about ring-pulls, horseshoes or bottle tops, I uncovered this buckle.
I went up to Ferrets permission with him for a couple of hours and, after finding my usual "treasures", up came this little beauty. After all the goodies Morley found with this machine, I was convinced he had sabotaged it prior to handing it over. >:( Now though I have to accept the fact that it is me at fault, not the machine... ,':( Hopefully it will be the start of a good run. If not, I'll pinch his AT Pro next time!!! Jo :D Title: Re: My First Buckle!!!

I remember the time I found my first buckle, it's still clear to me to this day, was on a Rally and hadn't found anything at all an entire day until late afternoon I sat down on a hill, given up practically and was tired using my heavy Explorer II (I was fairly new to the world of Metal Detecting), and after having a drink etc got up, and instantly got a signal from where I was sitting, and was shocked to find a buckle, a lovely one too, complete with pin, which I found out was Tudor after taking to the PAS, and its big, was so delighted, a memory I wont forget.

Post by: Phoenix on July 22, 2012, 02:50:31 PM Thanks all, I admit that I was becoming a little despondent after finding very little of interest.
I'm saving myself for that "big one"... :) Very nice buckle though and its nestling nicely amongst Morley's collection... ;) And Val, what can I say...It never ceases to amaze me how you all seem to identify finds so quickly. Thanks. :) Title: Re: My First Buckle!!! Post by: davtec (dave) on July 22, 2012, 02:53:38 PM nice find well done 8) 8)
