A buckle first

[McCDig]

Spent the better part of Monday detailing my truck; it needed it and was long overdue. Mid-afternoon I drove to the city to detect at Druid Hill Park and had a great couple hours. One find is a first for me, a buckle that looks the part of a spectacle buckle. Also dug a fatty IHC and a 1902, a 1926 Buff, 1917S Merc, 1901 Barber dime, and a plated collar stud.

Tht buckle is quite nice...and quite old too. I've said this before, and I'll say it again- colonial era buckles are one of my most favoriate things to find. Congrats to you!

awdw and I found these matching spectacles earlier this year on an early 18th century site in SC. Must have been a popular style.

Thanks Silvermonkey. Any guess as to the age of this one. It measures about 1 - 1/2 x 1 inch.

Thanks Lost Signal. Mine came from Baltimore City in an area that is near the late 18th century homesite of Colonel Nicholas Rogers.

Thanks, Randy. It was good to get and better to be rewarded with the finds.

Thanks HCW. A first for me. It will go in a Riker box.

Very nice buckle! Looks like an excellent couple of hours....wanna detail my truck??

Wow, thats sick! They look amazing. Each time I see something like this I feel as a small child always wanting to go on the beach and to find something like this. But when I show this to my daughter- she always just asking to buy a toy here https://top-mom.com/best-toys-for-2-year-old-girl

Very nice buckle, would love to find one myself, but I would probably have to drive a couple hundred miles east
I believe it is late 17th century, but Crusader or others might give you a better estimate.

Very nice finds beats detailing

 

[McCDig]

Without a doubt. After 6 hours on the truck, I was done.

 

[McCDig]

You've had many early finds that raise the possibility of one still turning up for you.

1600s from a park. Sweet
