[Indian Steve]

Howdy All , Spent another couple of hours in the cornfield and found a nice small brass buckle, another small lead ball, a brass piece of a buckle? , and lots of old nails. Dime is to show size. As soon as my back allows, i will be back. steve

That's a small strap buckle, and could be use for many applications, but more important to you is you have a very early Colonial buckle date, which dates your site
