Amazing Silver Buckle And Other Nice Finds!

[Vldetecting]

Yesterday I went for a three hour hunt on an very abandoned field I'd been to before. I didn't expect to find much but what I found was far more than expected! So, the best and most important find I found was a spectacular silver knee-buckle. So when I found it I doubted if it was silver or not. But once I came home and began cleaning it the buckle became more and more special. The buckle has two stamps, The one on the right is 'G' and stands for the county where I live in. And the P.H. initials is really interesting. When I saw it after cleaning it I immediately took out my county's silver-stamp book and found the person's initials. P H stands for 'Pehr Hedlund' which was a silver smith from 1805 to 1809. So it's really cool to think that this guy has made this buckle. Here are some pictures:



I also found two small bronze coins with the value of '1 Öre'. One of them is from 1881 and other one from 1884. The one in better condition on the right is from Norway. Why I found that Norwegian coin in Sweden is because in those times Sweden and Norway was a union under the ruling king 'Oscar II':



These are the rest of the finds which includes a silver plated bronze spoon, the letter 'Y' in bronze, a bronze four-holed button, a lead lamp holster, the head of a broken lead spoon and four lead bag seals:



Here are four unidentified items which I would really appreciate for someone to identify them:



Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Awesome finds. Old coins and super cool buckle! looks like a great day to me. looks like one of your mystery items is a cuff link and the round one might be a dog tax/vax tag.

Always great to get a complete & rare silver buckle frame & even better to get a maker & date - CONGRATS

I think that the item you're referring to as a cuff link does look like it on the picture but in person it looks quite different. And the round plate/tag has the lettering 'B 1st Roten №7', 'Roten' is a very old forgotten word that was used before we had countys in Sweden for example a larger village and you would name different areas of that village certain numbers such as B & №7 and I believe it might have something to do with a person having for example the tax control of an area in this 'Roten'. Thanks for the feedback too!

Super jealous! I’m voting BANNER on the solid silver buckle frame. These things are hard as hell to find. It would certainly be a BANNER find to me personally. Congrats on something that’s very near the top of my want list

Nice finds. I agree that the upper right item is the closure for a bag of some kind, doctor bag, ladies purse etc. From the picture it is hard to be sure, but the lower right item looks like a small pulley. Possibly from a window shade or any number of other things.

No positive IDs, just my best guesses.

Anybody who hunts early sites and loves relics will appreciate just how hard it is to find these. Very scarce indeed. I’ve got 25+ shoe buckle frames and not a piece of a silver one.

This is the best I can do. Thanks for the feedback by the way.

I also didn't say this and people might want to know that it is 34x29 mm in length x width and it weighs 4.5 grams.
