Best of my knowledge its early 1800s and they were used as harness buckles . But im not positive on thatCongrats on the finds! I especially like that batwing buckle. I've never seen one dug among my group. What would it have been used on? Date range?

Those bat wing harness buckles turn up regularly in New York and the New England states. But I have never seen one dug in Southwestern PA or anywhere else in the US for that matter.Congrats on the finds! I especially like that batwing buckle. I've never seen one dug among my group.

Are you sure that thimble is Silver and not Aluminum? Some of the corrosion looks like what you get on Aluminum.
