The Search for King George

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Thought I'd post some recent finds between myself and my pal Rodeo Recon. We're trying to get some Georgie coppers this year (and the usual Civil War stuff). These are from a colonial house site we found. Four flat buttons (two of them pewter), a pewter spoon handle, and a cool brass buckle. I already have my own idea about what this buckle was used for, but I'll keep it to myself for now and see what you all think. Any ideas on the age of the finds would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Buckleboy
