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.

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

Yeah, I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Detector readings. The copper-alloy mixes of the day varied a lot.

Wow we don't see many pewter buckles that haven't fallen apart. I think of all the shoe buckles I have only one pewter fragment. Very nice Sleuth

I was wondering but figured I'd let one of the more seasoned hunters confirm. Thanks
