Found in nova Scotia behind some houses that date mid to late 1700 and 1800, its 2 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide and i think made of brass. i have looked everywhere but can't seem to find this type of buckle.
So I believe this is a copper buckle bracelet, but I cant find any more information about it. It was the very last thing I cleaned and I wasn't expecting that floral pattern to pop out. I would love to know more, maybe an age range?
The first buckle is a shoe buckle right? But i'm stumped on...
last winter, i detected this buckle at a family member's property in rural Olympia, Washington. His house was built in the early 1920's, and previously had livestock.
Could it pre-date the 1920's? (because I also found square nails which I know haven't been used since the 1890's.) I do not...
DUG NEAR SMITHFIELD, VIRGINIA
Button, flattened shank and words SUPER FINE STRONG visible. I am thinking circa 1840. any ideas??????
Buckle. No idea about age. Thinking mid 1800s also, but, who knows.
*Indian Head dug in a separate location and a day earlier.
Indian head penny. No...
Out in the middle of nowhere found some coins and this buckle. The coins were three wheat pennies and large cent and a small cent that is thicker. I can't quite ID them now, going to try and get them cleaned. I can't wait to look some more! The day was awesome just being out but so much better...
Went out for a half hour with my son. He is only two so he lost interest pretty quick. Found pretty much all iron with a couple pull tabs. I don't mind a little old iron once in awhile. I have found quite a few harness buckles but none this large before.
Nice weather this weekend, figured I'd get out for an hour. Checked out an area that used to be farmland and now is getting ready to be developed but still empty.
Hunks of metal, few saw blades and maybe a buckle? Seemed like it was the right shape and it has a notch where a latch could have...
So, a week ago I found my first buckle, a quite large and heavy (46.5 g) buckle:
It wasn't quite deep because of the very hard soil. I think the pin in the buckle is made out of iron and the buckle itself is made out of copper or bronze. I also think it's of a horse strap.
I'm not familiar...
[SIZE=5]On to a new site with a hand dug well, no stones in lining. Also near the site was this almost complete blue brushed ceramic platter, any help with dating would be greatly appreciated. A cast iron pot top was dug and preserved, and a few buckles. One large Equine buckle and an ORNATE...
This is a small buckle I recovered today(01.31.2017) in the Free State of Jones aka Jones County Mississippi. The property could have had people on it previous to the Civil War. The little Buckle measures 1/2" X 13/16" and appears to be made out of copper with no markings that I can find. I'd...
Not sure if this is a fob or something? It appears to be made of either a very thin brass or copper and is very light. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
I found this cleated buckle on an old corn farmers homestead. I am just curious if anyone recognizes it, or if one of the guys who is good at looking up old patent information could tell me a bit more about it.
I can make out a few letters across the top and March 1874 on the curved parts.
I...
Hi friends,
Hope you all enjoyed the weekend. John and I metal detected for a couple of hours today, and found a few items. A gorgeous gold gilded flat button, nice musketball, an 1899 Indianhead penny, what looks like a shaving razor, and a cute buckle. We also found a bizarre piece of...
I recently found this old belt and buckle. The buckle is marked "Sterling. Mexico". Nothing else. It has a unique overlay design so I'm confused if it is all sterling? The overlay clearly looks different. Any thoughts?
I didn't kill them! But I did find three unique vintage whale skin belt today. Marked R A Hughes Pty Qld (Australia).
Plus a rattlesnake belt. Made in USA.
Plus, a beautifully hammered vintage leather belt with sterling silver buckle set. (Mexico).
(I also recently bought a "seal skin"...
I'm in Kentucky. I found this buckle while digging weeds out of my garden today. I was going to toss it but I decided to clean it up with a toothbrush and water and take a closer look. It has a loop on the left side but none on the right. I can see an eagle grasping three arrows in the...
