1700's Colonial Knee Buckle

Went to one of my old sites for a couple of hours today...Hunted around the cellar hole without much luck, So i moved out in the deep woods...After a couple of shotgun shells, I got a sweet tone and dug this Sweet Knee Buckle...It is mid to late 1700'sand it works like new...I love finding buckles

A complete Colonial knee buckle is where the Colonial party is at. The woods definitely treat them much better compared to plowed fields. I bet that high Colonial tone got your blood pumping.

A nice perfect intact buckle.... gotta love the woods!

Next time clean it dry and you won't lose as much color. A find like that should not see a single drop of water. A hp soak seems to hold it better, and a neat trick I learned while cleaning a belt place was when the crud was loose enough I rubbed it and the dirt into a green paste.... The paste cleaned the plate and kept all the color. I used a little paper towel to dab it, then laid to dry and it worked great. Getting even just loose dirt off some things can be a challenge.
