1550-1650 double D spectacle buckle.

 

[Iron Patch]

Early to mid. 18th century. I have seen more great finds come out of the dirt than I could ever remember, but buckles sure don't account for many of them.

1760-1790 silver knee buckle.

Uhm... meaning you don't like 'em, or you just haven't pulled that many?

Very few. I do like them but not quite as much as some on the forum. Though a solid silver, hallmarked, American buckle would probably give me the feeling I had something to brag about. Now just to find one.

Hey Ticm, that knee buckle looks just like mine. Yours looks like brass.

I finally got my computer fixed.

Here are my two favorites. First is a war of 1812 U.S. Artillery officers belt plate and the second may not look like much but it is prized by me, colonial type shoe buckle.

Lot's of nice buckle finds, hope to see alot more of them on here and in the bottom of my hole. Here's my best one yet, I found it in June right before the heat and dry weather hit, a shoe buckle from the mid to late 1700's.

Here is a large South Carolina Civil War Buckle I dug in Charleston, S.C. On the back of the buckle is carved "William Reynolds Palmetto Guards".

Pvt. Reynolds was stationed in "Stevens Iron Battery" on April 12, 1861. It fired one of the first shots of the Civil War. Also manning the battery was Edwin Ruffin, of Virginia.

It is definitely the best relic that I have ever found.....oh....and I eyeballed it!
