Found this buckle And have found one like it but smaller a long time ago at an old plantation. This one was at a park in the creek don't know much about earthier of them would really like to know more about this one. I think its horse tac but I'm not sure. If anyone has any info or origin know...
I do concur that it was found 10 to 15 feet where my dad excavated a union button in the fence and other civil war items related to that era. So it was a civil war camp site. Just never can know if if was in there pocket or another's.
Hey no problem, education is education no matter how you take it i base what something is by facts more than anything thanks again for the info it is much appreciated.
Well I got it weighed and converted equaling 402.78 grains. Telling me most likely was 410 and civil war as a-posed to Texas revolution. Well the hunt continues, in the mean time I know where a civil war camp was that hasn't been established with the others. :)
Wow man thank you so much please be my friend so I may confide in your knowledge. I have quite a few lead finds and know a little but I know there ls a great deal of knowledge to be learned. I really appreciate to taking the time to educate me. You have no idea how much that helps. I'll let you...
So I know this is a round ball what I want to know is it's caliber and why it looks unfinished. Was it a bad mold? Did he not finish cutting the slag? What the story to your knowledge for why it looks like it does? It is about 3/4 of an in diameter of just the ball.
Ok I really need some help on this is someone can tell me what I want to hear that is if it is what I'm hoping? This piece is composed of brass and has a lead pipe sticks out of what looks like a fitting. It has threads inside the other end as to thread onto something keeping the lead in place...
Here is my spoon fully cleaned. Colby's stamped in the handle it's interesting regardless of the age. But what does it look like is it nickel casted or 1900 aluminum??
Yah I kinda figured I had looked up the other I found and dated it later than that so you kinda. Made me feel better knowing it's earlier than I had originally perceived. I appreciate it
:( when my dad sees it he will probably say the same thing I dunno I see I one and I kinda messed up a lil iron deposit cleaning it I'll have to use the machine my pops has and see.
