Civil war buckle?

[B|lker]

I had an awesome day.
Bob and I`s first stop was a little north of Chavis Park in Raleigh where i found what i think is a
buckle.
Plus more brass and lead.
Any ideas on its age or how to straighten

Our second stop was back to Dorthea Dix where i snagged this 1942 Quarter. Yippee
Plus toys and clad.

My last find was at the recycling dumpsters where i found these 3 bottles of Wine.

Bummer it looks like theres gunk on my lens.

Wow ,that hurts . If you heat it up you should be able to bend it back . I would be very careful and go real slow. Very cool find!

wow nice buckle............

A CW BUCKLE!!!! You dog you.
Bill, that's a great find! You go from aluminum cans to CW buckles. Hopefully you can get er' straightened out. I don't think I would even try though. I'd be a fraid of snapping it in half.
AWESOME!!!
Congrats on the SILVER too. Did you leave Bob anything?

Heres as close a match as i can find but it`s not an exact match.

About halfway down on this page.

1851 Federal Sword waist plate.
Looks like an exact match to me.

nice finds, but the quarter in your picture says 1962, not 1942..but either way it is silver and alot more than im finding

I think Bill hit the wine BEFORE posting.
Just kidding Bill. I'd be celebrating too.

I think this is it, Bill http://www.civilwarpreservations.com...oryType=relics

You did great today... Your Ace kicked by X-terras butt. Way to go.

Thanks GL i starred at that page for almost a half an hour trying to get an exact match.
no such luck, but very close on most of them so i`m guessing it dates around 1851.
If it is cast it will impossible to straighten.
It`s amazing that this one got bent up this much without breaking.

Thanks Allen for finding my typo. / Wishfull thinking i guess.

Thanks everyone for looking and you replies.

Bob found some wheats and clad but left me his aluminum and copper.
Thanks Bob for the recyclables ( And your company).

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Thanks bob but theres no berries in the shrubbery of the eagles right foot on the one you sent me.

I think it feels and looks like brass, so i`ll probably try a little heat. (Not tonight though, to much wine :P

By the way... looks like your best find of the day is on your tailgate.
