I don't think we appreciated how very rare that NC buckle was when you recovered it MM. I have not seen one like it since you dug this one on dealer or treasure sites. It's doubtful you will top this find in your lifetime. This ranks in the top 10 best CW relic finds ever on Tnet in my opinion. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Quindy, very much appreciated. I had no idea how rare that NC buckle was or what the value was. I about croaked when you told me. You're right though, it will be tough for me to top that find and the thrill I got. I'll keep looking though. LOL

Sweet find hope you find the rest, that would be bonus. I can't believe that wasn't already found, oh well the luck of the draw I guess. Keep up the great work and HH.

Believe me I looked. I'm thinking the early 1900's house may have been built on top of it. :dontknow: The 1900's house was built on an 1800's house property. I found this part of the buckle out front. :thumbsup:

Thanks a bunch. That NC buckle still remains my best find ever. Sounds like your Dad made quite a find too. :icon_thumleft:
We would love to see a few pictures of yours.
Welcome to Tnet too. :hello2:
