An Eagle and three Achors

[Woodland Detectors]

It was a fantastic Thanksgiving with family this week in the Great Eastern Tennessee mountains.
We had a typical southern dinner with leftovers for the entire week.
After the Holiday, I met up with a couple of friends from Treasurenet, Tenn-coinhunter, And Treasurehound. We had a great time and the weather was fantastic.
We met at the local McDonald's at 8 am and discussed our tactical day ahead of us.
We decided to search civil war skirmish site that we had been talking about the week before. We ventured out to the site and began our gridding ritual. It wasn't 10 minutes and Randy came over to show me what he had dug. A real nice trigger guard.
We all were doing pretty good and trying to focus on the faint tones that laid beneath us when I got a real nice signal. I dug at least 5inches and scanned the plug with the pistol probe and out of the plug fell a real nice Eagle button. The tokens are Anchor coal Kentucky coal tokens. All diferent denominations. It was an interesting cache. The .25 cent denomination is an R-8 on the rarity scale 1-10. I'm not sure of the other denominations however. HHHH

Your "buckle" is most certainly not a buckle. It is a brooch.

Victorian sash buckle brooch. Some had a faux tine (or tines) so that, when pinned to the sash, it appeared as if the tine was piercing the fabric.

Those coal company tokens are great! I would take a good token over a coin Any Day of the Week!

I would the odd time too!

Ahhh. So it is both a faux brooch and a real buckle. 8)

Make that "real brooch" and "faux buckle"— it's a sash pin or brooch designed to look like a buckle when pinned on a sash.

Here's one with a faux tine.

Sweet tokens

I'd have to agree that it's a brooch made to look like a buckle.
