Braved the snow and found a buckle- new pics

[Bev]

It snowed a tiny bit last night but I really wanted to go detecting. I went up to preservation area that has trails and old foundations, etc. Because of the snow and no leaves I was able to spot a cellar hole just off the path. I found a few nails and this nifty buckle with a pretty design near what I think was the front steps. My Harbor freight pinpointer got dirty and quit so I did too!
I tried the blue background and I adjusted to make it as true to the color as I could. Wow, didn't even know what I got!

Nice knee buckle. It's not silver. Has nice patina and needs no more cleaning. Good find. "The Hoggester" P.S.----Went to Mohegan Sun last monday, via 395 from Ma. Always a nice trip when you hit 146 and see all the old cellar holes, stone walls, and farms along that part of Conn. A virtual metal detectorists dream! We had a couple inches up here in the Berkshires today too.

Beautiful buckle. You don't find many that ornate.

Gotta take advantage of these final weeks before the snow starts for real. Today was just a warning !!!!

Good luck on your next trip back there.

That is a beautiful buckle Bev. I wouldn't clean it any more that it is. Some things are better left uncleaned.

Nice buckle Bev! Never found a colonial-era that nice

It's so funny being new- and I'm fully aware I'll be "new" for a very long time to come! When I found it, I thought, huh. Ok. A buckle. I guess my brain was in "coin mode"! That's why I love posting some stuff on here because you all are so knowledgable and it helps immensely!
Mohegan Sun is further than Foxwoods up here and I only go once a year on my B-day. I'm what you call a "cooler". If I stand next to you, you will begin losing! I'd rather be in the fields around those places instead.

Ok, it's in the curio, no more cleaning but I will print up some info on it to keep with it.
