May 7, 2012: What's with all the buckles?

A few days ago I got out to "the field" one last time before planting. Grass had actually grown in there limiting the areas to cover. But, I managed to find 3 buckles, none of them old. Fast forward to today. I got out to a recreation area and within a few minutes out pops another buckle, then 10 minutes later another buckle, and then a third buckle. What's going on??? None of them is old though.

Also today got 2 beat up IHCs - 1896 and 1900 and a really cool skeleton key - that's the neat find of the day!

    Nice finds! Been a long time since I have dug a skeleton key.

    Nice skeleton key... a long time ago, I collected old keys...still have some. Even an old folding skeleton key. Surprising amount of buckles... never encountered that myself. Cheers, RickO

    Sounds like the kids were tired of spankings and hid pops beltsimage
