First artifact find detecting with my niece. It was fun to pull it out of the ground with her she ran to show it off ASAP lol. She wanted to detect with me but at first made a fit over dirt and worms. I told her she better get used to it if she wants to do this And to scoop some dirt out. She took some rocks from the ground to add to her collection. I'm glad to have some kids excited with the hobby
Strike plate!
Ooh yes I can see it now like to a door! I thought it was a belt buckle type thing at first but now I think you got it right. Thank you!!
Struck gold that day! (Or brass at least, but who's keepin track)
