    The buckle looks like it's from the mid1700's very early 1800's and the eagle I looks like it from the 1830's. Both are without a doubt precivil war. Does the button have a backmark. Cool stuff

    Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

    Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

    Re: Found these 2 in the same hole

    You're welcome. That buckle might actually be a bit older than I first said but it is an early one. The Young & Smith backmark can go from 1830 to the late 1850 but that one is on the earlier end. I would be hitting that place some more. I love the early stuff
