1600s buckles.

[collector01]

Got out for the first time this year at a early 1700s site and got a couple 1600s buckles. And some odds and ends. I think these buckles are some of my favorite things to find. Got my first barber quarter and some wheats and indians.

finally back on a computer, thanks everybody, hope some older silver turns up next time, I only brushed them and put on renaissance wax. not a fan of any oils.

There must be some cut silver pistareens or a cob there somewhere. Although, I'd rather have the buckles to be honest.

Yep. I did to. 1st colonial site I ever hunted nearly 30 years ago now. Once I found colonial stuff (cut silvers) I really didnt care about modern silver a whole lot more. Found 2 colonial coppers in the same hole there. A bunch of other stuff too; seated silver, other coppers and indians etc. My brother in law found a 1677 French silver 4 sols there. Only one I ever seen found in these parts. I'm sure others have been found, just never saw another.
