Default Belt Buckle & 1/2 point in same hole

Went out for 3 hours today. Beautiful day!! I found this next to a creek where I arrowhunt every year. They haven't disked it yet but I thought I'd give it a shot with my MD although there is no sign of any old structure....I was pleasently surprised.....Going back tomorrow.

Smile Neat artifact finds!

Neat finds. Artifacts are always great to find. Hope the arrowhead didn't break in the person wearing the buckle!
Looks like you have an interesting area to hunt. Good luck on more artifacts - and maybe a coin stash. Nice to add to your arrowhead collection.
Happy hunting

If I'd found those things in an area - I'd want to hunt there again too! Good luck on locating the homestead!

Good job on the nice finds ... looks like that site could have been a homestead, campsite, or such ... good luck on your return hunt ~ Jimmy

Nice finds and great luck, if that buckle wasn't there, you'd never have gotten the point!

Nice ! The buckel is most likely a buckle from a piece of horse tack.I think you may have found an old homesite or camp.The thimble makes me think it's likely a homesite.I have a site were I find points while digging targets as well and there isent alot of sighns there other than a few broken bit's of brick and china.
