Buckle? or what? Found on Civil War Battle ground

[Roadquest]

It has the date of 1860, I'm Petty sure that's what it is. Take a look you may see it different.
On the other side it has printed on the letters sollde?? looks like a couple of more letters, But I
can't make them out. Could be a buckle for a shoe? What is it?

Thanks Roadquest

Would like to see that button. Here is a little Zouave History and another link with some great pictures.

Hi everyone,

I might be wrong that there was a discussion here recently about the same type of buckle posted by Breezie on which a solution was reached http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,297892.0.html.
If you mean, of course, a buckle marked 'Paris Solide' (French for Solid) with different set of dates on it.

Yes it appears to be a common pants buckle made from 1852-1930's. The all brass types are older. Old post.

This pair of red wool trousers with gold metal thread embroidery is part of a Zouave Officer's uniform worn by Colonel Harmon D. Hull, Duryee Zouaves (5th NY Volunteer Infantry) and the 2nd Battalion Duryee Zouaves (165th NY Volunteer Infantry). Unlike most Civil War uniforms these Zouave trousers are baggy with pleats front and back just below the waistband. The trousers are hemmed but not cuffed. Six small gold metal buttons, stamped on front "Brooks Brothers, N. Y.," close the fly. Six larger versions of the same button are sewn around the waistband on the outside. A short, red wool two-piece belt is sewn at the back, center just below the waistband. The belt sections are belted together with a two-prong, rectangular gold metal buckle stamped "SOLLDE" on one side and "PARIS" and "1864" on reverse. There is tan cloth interfacing around the waist and leg hems. Trousers accompany coat.

Care to give a link for where you found this? I'm "so sure" it's a credible link. They even mis-spelled "SOLIDE."

When you dig up gold with a metal detector, does it have this patina on it?

Key features of this buckle:

Japanned brass, two prong (possibly tinned ).

A vest or trousers buckle. Here is a NOS/not dug Brit example in my collection: Sword Brand, Japanned and tinned, 1 inch long.

This is better than watching Mr. Bean metal detect.

At least I understand what is happening on Mr. Bean?
