Shoe Buckle "like, light gauge" 57 snider casing.

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

It was a group hunt day and 4 turned out to investigate some old foundations.

Not the best, but a site picture.



When I saw the "shoe buckle" in the hole I was happy ...for a second. It is very thin, and looks cheap to me. Maybe someone knows what it was used for ?



Stamped "EMERSON"
"PAT. DEC. 1.74"

My other finds were a huge .57 SNIDER casing, watch cover, heel plate, and live .308 round.



ND got the only coin, a newer Canada LG cent, and a bell.



(modern coin came from another stop on the way home)

Neat looking site and nice relics. No idea on the shoe buckle. Congrats to Navy Davy on the big copper.
