Stopped in a nearby colonial cellar that has been hammered pretty well :-\

Was moving trees and branches and was able to pull some good finds :icon_thumleft:


Probably abandoned around the Civil War era.

Grabbed some nice little Colonial buckles and a silver plated buckle ;D
Not sure if its a shoe or waist it does have a curve :dontknow:
The age is a mystery to me also :icon_scratch:

Got a thimble and some buttons :)

Keep the passion high :thumbsup:

Nice finds JB :thumbsup:

The first buckle is definitely a shoe buckle. I believe the other two are also shoe buckles, even though they are a bit smaller.

I like the button with the wavy lines too :icon_thumright:

That silver plated buckle is huge!! Wonder what that was used for?? Nice finds!

Nice buckles you found there Blaze, :thumbsup: the large one is most likely around REV.War era. found a piece much like it from that type site.Which also produced my largest or would have been buckle :( Cru Id it as a shoe buckle.But would have been a monster if all together.I've put the biggest chape & tongue piece I have in it to get a better Idea of it's size.My best drawing & size it must have been below.Also the piece that looks like yours.
Take Care,
Pete, :hello:
