A Pewter Knee Buckle, Buttons, my first Barber Quarter, and more

[PA Sleuth]

Got out for a little bit this week, several different spots, one new field, found some great items.



The pewter knee buckle is intricate



Yes, that is a broken spur. No idea what the cross doohickey is, maybe a broken skeleton key top?

The coins are and 1883 and 1902 IHP, 1918 Merc, 1944 Washington, and my first Barber Half, a 1907. I have two Barber Halves, and three dimes, but the quarter has eluded me. I credit my Yoda find, the force is strong with this one.

Wow. Lots of good finds there! Is your " cross thing " a finial of some sort? Beautiful little buckle.

Great finds PA Sleuth! I really like that knee buckle and it has a really great design on it. Too bad that spur isn't complete. I've been dying to dig one of those, but bits and pieces just turn up.

It definitely could be, but off of what do you think?

Very cool bunch of finds!

Not very common for the buckle (which is very nice, by the way) to be made of pewter. It looks like a mix close to tombac.

Awesome knee buckle. Great recovery on that piece! What a beauty!!!

I was thinking the same thing, but it rang up very low, lower than a nickel, slightly higher than foil, could just be the shape that threw off the detector as well

I have had large tombac buttons come in at the nickel range.

Awesome digs, 6 keeper coins and cool relics. Clean Yoda up, may make a nice avatar.

Great breadth of quality finds your made there. And I can't think of a more powerful good luck charm than a dug Yoda. I love it when the universe takes a break from all the awful and shows us it still has a sense of humor.
