So I hit the same site from my 1909 V nickel eye-ball hunt on Wednesday. Made my way deep into the woods to the site and after a brief stand-off with an empty red pickup truck I started my hunt. Dug a bunch of targets with almost no trash. Dug some cut shards of copper and what looks like estuchen covers for keyholes. Finally got a solid 76 signal. There it was, my first IH penny in pretty good shape too. Moved along through the "highlights" of the site picking up a glazed spout to a clay jug before hitting another good target. Got a choppy but repeatable signal, so I dug. There was my 2nd buckle ever but this one was a nice shoe? buckle. Going back on Sunday for a proper hunt.
I know the IH looks bad but I have not cleaned it other than to rinse it off. When it is wet, you can clearly see 1860 but when it dries it is hard to see the details.
Can someone help me date the shoe buckle (or whatever kind of buckle it actually is)?
