CAST Eagle Tongue Buckle

[Ron (CA)]

Mark and I headed back to a site we had hunted in the past and hiding in the heavy iron were a few nice relics. Amazing how you can hunt a site and then go back and find big targets in areas that you had hunted. Got to love this hobby!! That's why we hunt our sites a dozen times or so and then a few more!! LOL That is 4-5 buckle parts in the last month or so. Love it when these heavy cast ones pop out!!

Gold Rush area along a creek the miners were working. We always check the flats along the creek and this flat area is loaded with iron. Square nails in every hole!!

Thanks for looking

Outstanding as usual Ron. If you ever want to sell one of your matching sets, a buddy of mine here is looking to buy.

Beautiful buckle! Congrats! What years would these be from?

Think this cast style is 1848-1851 based on the site it was found.
