I did better today. Especially since getting the replacement pinpointer for the one that arrived DOA. It's nice to be able to doublecheck before I break ground. At least on the stuff within a few inches of the surface. And it really helped find the items in the dirt that I thought I had sifted through well enough with my fingers.
More brass shells, a piece of lead, a piece of steel wire or nail I was surprised I could find, I think part of a bullet, a foil top for some kind of bottle I think... and my big find. An actual buckle. All I know about it is it's not magnetic.
But first I hit a piece of land where a creek meanders around. I was hoping it would hold some goodies from the creek when the creek is high and runs over that ground, but all I found in the muck was a piece of aluminum flashing bent on an angle and part of a T post.
This brass shell was actually sitting like that after I pulled up the plug. I have no idea why I am finding various ammo cases a few inches below the surface.
I am learning that sometimes my machine gives off the occasional high range beep, but if I can't keep it going steady or it seems to move and be hard to locate, I am not digging. I haven't found anything yet in the holes of those random chirps that aren't steady.
