belt buckle

[texjim]

Found in Schuylkill County Pa. I was told finding one of these around here is like finding a crocadile in the river. 3rd time out ever with my own machine. beginners luck I guess I just hope the rest of the year goes as good as this month has gone. I was just hoping to find some silver and wheat's. hh

It may be a US (baby) buckle a friend of mine dug one and one had one puppy paw and one hook on it. Due to how thick the hooks dones not seem to match any box plate I have seen. Just a guess Any way cool find!

HUTCH911 is correct - this is a Baby U S Buckle not a box plate. Too small for the Box Plate. If it were a Box, the connectors on the back would be iron loops (2 rust spots each on left and right sides of the lead) not Brass which is what I believe I see in the photos. A BABY US BUCKLE is 10 times better than a Box PLate . Congrats.
