Excellent finds! I'd almost have to say the Southern Confederacy buckle is a South Carolina buckle due to what appears to be a palmetto tree on it. Just a guess, I may be mistaken though. Super pay off for braving the rains!!:icon_thumright:

Wow! You found both of those tongue's on the same day? That's incredible! Two CS buttons in one day is a day to remember, but two rare Confederate tongues is unheard of these days!

Welcome to tnet great job I went out in the rain today myself. I'm not sure where you are detecting but I have found parts missing from relics by clearing a inch or two off the ground by where I found the original piece just a thought Thanks for sharing your great find!!!!@@@
