A couple interesting finds for today...

With this mid-winter thaw we're having, I took a buddy out detecting at a site we had some luck at in the past, I had found a sterling beauty accessory of some sort and he had found a crotal bell.

I'm not sure what type of buckle this is, or what it was used for but it's in great shape and appears to be brass. The comb is certainly interesting, I immediately thought who would have been wearing it before it was lost in the ground for so long.

Any thoughts on the type of buckle this might be are certainly welcome. Thanks!

I finally figured out the photo issue. Take a look now-- I think suspended buckle maybe?

I could be totally wrong but that comb has me thinking it could be made from tortoise shell? No idea on the buckle. Cool finds though!
