1750s - 1790s shoe buckle

I have hundreds of buckles & have not had one of those complete

Its a GREAT FIND!

How deep was it?

I agree with Crusader , Seeing as you live in Connecticut a Colonial buckle can turn up anywhere you hunt ! And a fancy style at that !

Nice find

Holy Schnikeys Batman!!!!

It was 5" deep... I was just expecting another memorial penny... was slightly left of my pinpoint but the Vibra Probe saw it and I popped it out...

I have 4 coins from the 1800's and 4-5 relics from the 1800's... nothing nearly this old then...

WoW!

Thank you for the quick responses...

Happy Dancing.... Paul

That buckle is amazing, great find!
Wouldn't it be equally amazing if you could find its mate?

That is a sweet find. Always amazes me that these guys and gals on the TNET can quickly get to the bottom of what an item is. Nice job all! jgas
