Great saves!!!

 

[joesdigs]

Thanks guys.... I'm not too sure Goldi I've only known them as swans or snakes heads. But possibly

I like these Snake/Bird or S shaped buckle. I have a few different type but I've never had the keeper, that would be a cool 'first'! Check for the other side in the general area, you never know??

Very nice buckle and that old lock is real cool to.way to go buddy.

 

[joesdigs]

Hey CRU... Yes they are nice pieces... Will defenitley be looking for the other side... And the gun too

 

[TiBorn]

Very nice finds, the snake buckle is an interesting piece. The closest I get to snakes is when I kill them or my don't tread on me flag but that's neither here nor there. When I first saw the British coin I thought it was a sovereign, ironically enough I own the same one. The padlock is cool as well, makes me wonder what it used to protect.

Amazing finds, congrats! I found a KGV recently in the US, 1916. They seem to hold their shape nicely.
