Hi all, Today is the first day of Autumn not that seasons matter ;D ;D ;D. After work i went back to the miners huts along the Derwent Creek. Spent about 3 hours working mainly junky ground. Couple of buttons , a half penny, pin ? and only my 3rd snake buckle. These snake buckles come in so many different styles. each one i have found is different. Anyone know how many types and styles there are.

Congrats on finding your 3rd snake buckle (WOW) , I was lucky enough to find one and did not know what it was until one was posted and ID on TNET. Unsure of how many varieties exist ?

The snake is nice. You can tell by the grooves just below the heads it saw a lot of use.
