Few more things from Rev sight

[trapperart]

Found this stuff yesterday before the farmer came in to plant corn. My days in the field are numbered but have access to the adjacent property that's not farmed. I know there are three old foundations there. The buckle is an 1881 Remington ammo belt dog head. Probably won't find another one of those. Not sure on toasted coin state copper I think. Good luck to all. Art

You are on fire trapper. Three old foundations sounds exciting! glad too see you rescuing all those nice finds including those too rare buttons you found before this years planting. Just more chance of damage and another shot of that God awful fertilizer. Good luck out there.

Nice finds, I look forward to your posts from the other field. I would guess that the buckle may come from a rifle sling.

Excellent work, , sad to see those plates get bent like that.
The only way you can straighten it out is with a torch. I tries to straighten out a copper tag without heating it up and it is now kaput.
Congrats on some nice finds

Hello trapperart. Nice finds! I believe your buckle was made by Anson Mills a US Army officer who invented a woven cartage belt in the 1880's.

Here are some links regarding your find and a similar buckle I found a few years back at a 1880's home site.

Cartridge or ammo belt
