Another U.S. buckle but "Johnny Reb" needed the lead

I found U.S. buckle (sort of), sword hanger, jack knife, and 1903 dime. I was using my new Whites MXT and it is working fine as you can see. The 1903 was in the middle of the forest along a old submerged barbed wire fence. The other pics are just some deep forest scenery of Spotsylvania Va the shrooms are no doubt the last trip you would take if you ate them. Heh Heh!!! This is from my old hang out where both sides camped out. Enjoy the goodies because my season has just begun. Oh Yea I'm wearing orange, Black powder season is amongst us and deer season (Rifle/Shotgun) is upon us so I might be working the old soy bean fields soon. Please note the balusters on the pocket knife, brass of course but check out the pineapples on both ends & bone inlay.I'm guessing pre-civil war or around that time frame. The lead was drained from the buckle for ammo,folded in half and discarded.
Thanks for stopping

Thanks guys,
Not sure if I would have it restored but it sure would be cool to see it in better condition, I would bet it would expensive?
