buckle age?

[fmerg]

today i was asked if i could help find a property stake in a wood lot
we knew it was within a 10 foot area
i started detecting from the center working my way out wards
my first hit turned out to be a buckle it was only about 3 feet from the property stake
now i have to rty and figure out how old the buckle is and i dont have much to go on
the only markings are 3 stars

My guess is mid 1700's

Nice find Frank!!....I believe that buckle dates to the 1700's but I'm sure someone like BuckleBoy can give you a more precise date on it.

Wow.....want one of those puppies so bad I can taste it. See a few in the vids from the New England area. That is getting back there. Awesome find.

Nice buckle. Still have not found a whole one like yours.

It is definitely older than my Gr-Gr-Gr-Gr Grandfather. Congratulations.

Nice 18th Century shoe buckle. I would get back in there and see what else is in those woods. You might have stumbled onto an old homesite.

Really nice! Really hard to find intact. I have 1 with a deep green patina. CONGRATS! Hogge
