I agree with Crusader , Seeing as you live in Connecticut a Colonial buckle can turn up anywhere you hunt ! And a fancy style at that !

Nice find :thumbsup:

Holy Schnikeys Batman!!!!

It was 5" deep... I was just expecting another memorial penny... was slightly left of my pinpoint but the Vibra Probe saw it and I popped it out...

I have 4 coins from the 1800's and 4-5 relics from the 1800's... nothing nearly this old then...

WoW!

Thank you for the quick responses...

Happy Dancing.... Paul

That is a sweet find. Always amazes me that these guys and gals on the TNET can quickly get to the bottom of what an item is. Nice job all! jgas
