Actually, we dug this up a couple of days ago, but it's been our best find so far. It's a belt buckle that was attached to a web belt that held bullets. It was made by Anson Mills in 1881 for military issue in the Spanish American War. We've found a bunch of cool relics at this site which I will post later, but I had to share this one alone! Thanks for looking!
