Good on ya brother ! That buckle definitely rocks ! The KG's are cool but the buckle just has
so much character - it almost looks medieval - like something crusader would find - Argentium.
Thanks that buckle is old your right Crusader saw my post yesterday and reply with the exact buckle he found with picture he says maybe 16th century to 17th Dd60

Type IIIC - 1600-1700 see no. 34.

other sources date them as late as 1720, so 1600-1720. There is little knowledge about there actual use other than it went on a leather strap. Maybe (my guess) a sword belt :dontknow:
 

Generally, KG IIs Are from the 1700s :D ;D :wink: :icon_thumleft: Nice finds!
 

I would be digging that site until no more relics show up. :icon_thumleft: The buckle is definitely the sweetest of the artifacts. :icon_thumleft:
