  2. Civil War Belt Buckle

    Seeking information about a belt buckle found near a home built soon after the Civil War in Lumpkin County, Georgia. The house was built by Jesse McDonald who was a Captain of the Blue Ridge Rifles during the Civil War. Is this buckle consistent with civil war era milita buckles?
  3. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Piece of a Rare, Southern Civil War Buckle?

    This artifact is from a site in North Alabama that has produced artifacts from the Civil War, including three Confederate buckles, a frame and two CSA rectangles of the Army of Tennessee type. Unfortunately it is only a piece of what appears to be a buckle or plate of an oval shape. This...

    I was detecting at an early 1700’s foundation in the woods and found this unusual heart shaped buckle?……well I’m not sure if it’s a buckle or what kind if that. I also found a shoe buckle frame that is similar. If anyone knows if this is a buckle or what kind please lmk.

  6. Has anyone ever seen a buckle like this?

    I found this in my yard yesterday, not even metal detecting, I raked it up while laying some grass seed. It was laying pretty much on top of the ground so I don't think it was buried much. I tried searching for vintage buckle, vintage buckle with numbers, fire fighting buckle, vintage fire...
  7. Silver Buckle find???

    Hello! I went as a knight for Halloween and found this belt for part of my outfit at the thrift store. Wondering if it's silver or silver plated maybe. Says Taiwan on the back.

  10. First flat button & other relics!

    Headed back to the cellar hole today, the house was used during the civil war as a headquarters/ fort. I’ve pulled bullets, eagle buttons, and other items from here. The signals are becoming few and far between. Very hard to find anything worth digging so I’ve started digging every tone no...

  12. Wreath buckle!

    Digging out a bottle pit today when this police wreath buckle came out! It’s not a true tongue and wreath (like the c.s. Buckles.) It has the belt loop keeper with the old style d shape hook like the old civil war officer plates do. The only thing I could find is that it dates to 1870-1890, but...
  13. ✅ SOLVED Medieval Buckle?

    I found this buckle piece in a field in Luxembourg. Most of the stuff I've found in this area dates to around 1650-1960. Its made of either copper or bronze. I believe it to be medieval, more specifically from 1250-1350 according to this website...
  14. I found KFC and an old buckle

    I hunted for about 4 hours at the 1896 house that I found the large cent that I posted awhile ago. Well... there is just SO MANY IRON SIGNALS!!! I didn't dig that many signals because it was hard to find a decent singal. Almost all the good signals were shallow modern pennies. I found a pretty...

  19. What ARE these what is its?

    Here are a few brass items which I haven't been able to identify other than the buckle, and I was wondering if that could be Civil War. The long item with the squared end appears to have a 95 (serial number?) on it. All items found in very old sites. Any ideas?
