1853 large cent..Tombacs..strange buckle

[Brian W]

Went out last wednesday to a very old site...I got two nice tombacs and a strange buckle...I like the design on the tombac..usually i find them plain...I found one copper coin but its toast...Went to a site not as old as the first and i landed this nice braided hair..1853

Heck, I would take a complete buckle like that, strange or not! But it is nice.

Thanks everyone....I cleaned the large cent by soaking in cold peroxide for 24 hours...Then i dab on petroleum jelly to keep from drying out...Its really dark brown but i use bright light to to take macro pics.
Deepdiger60 im from mass and most coppers are toast...but some from the woods hold up ok....tombacs always hold up good..Thanks again everyone ...Brian W
