1700's Complete Knee Buckle, Pewter Button & A Couple Whats It's

Hi All, these are from my last hunt. No coins were found, but a really nice 1700's complete knee buckle was found. Also another iron buckle frame and the pewter button too. I did find the two what's it finds also. I put them in the same picture together if anyone has any idea what they might be it would be cool to hear. I will post them in the What's It forum if no one knows here. Overall it was a good hunt. Thanks for looking.

My only book clasp was an early 1700s style one dug at a mid 1800s site. Books were treasured possessions, and they lasted a long time! That's a great find, IMO. Great to get an item from the 1500s or 1600s over here, regardless of what it is!

Cheers,

Buck

Buckle I agree with you totally, I must say I am very stoked to find out this is either 1500's or 1600's and I thought the Buckle made my hunt . This is a very early site that just keeps on given

Great finds Bubba! Nice and early too. I have never found one of those book clasps (at least not that I recognized as such). I believe your buckle is a knee buckle, not a small shoe buckle.

Thanks Steve I think it is a knee buckle to that is why my title is worded the way it is

I'd go back to that spot soon. It's offering up some real old finds.

I now think you might be right, it was the size next to the button that bothered me, as knee buckles rarely exceed 30x40mm (whats yours?). Although because it has a '2' pronged tongue with an anchor chape instead of '1' its more likely a knee buckle.
