🥇 BANNER Ornate Silver Shoe Buckle

[Dust Eater]

Out about 350 feet away from the root cellar and not getting anything besides shotgun shells. Then about 20 feet from a stone wall I got a solid 97 on the XP Deus' high frequency coil. The shoe buckle frame contains around .8 ounces of silver. I decided to keep the rusted chape, as it provides some authenticity and gives a nice bit of contrast to the silver frame. When I saw the shoe buckle come out of the ground it didn't look like silver at all. Glad I was wrong about that.

Beautiful buckle for sure. Eight ounces of silver! That's a half a pound! Surely that buckle was worth quite a bit in trade even if it wasn't functional. Well that's good for a Banner vote!

I've never seen a silver shoe buckle be found it's very cool that's the excitement of metal detecting you never know what can be discovered

Lol. I missed that decimal point. I kept looking at it trying to figure how that could be half a pound and how heavy that shoe would be!

Keeping the chafe on is a must in my opinion! Nice find.

Someone spent a lot of time crafting that beautiful buckle and then they slapped an iron tongue and chape on it! Geez!
