Following up a farmer's story paid off

[cometguy]

Followed up a local farmer's story about glass and brick on a hillside in his back field. So glad I did. Great day with the Deus picking through the iron.The buckle was my first find. Not sure how old it is but it has to be a good sign of an older site. The button still has a lot of gold on it. I think the letters are for National Hospital Disabled Veteran Soldiers. The other miscellaneous stuff looks like the place is worth hitting again.
