Obviously, you have no life, lol! Seriously, that's an awesum amount of digging and a lot of very nice finds. To whom did you find return a 1934 college memorial buckle? Must have been children or grandchildren. My dad is 91, and he was only 11 in 1934.

It looks like a buckle, but it's not. It's actually pretty small. You can read the post on its return by clicking here.
