This is a photo of a buckle I found at a 1801 house site it is either copper or brass and has a polished stone inset and ram and horns on the stone collar.Found an axe head and plate with oyster shells and other relics from the civil war.I thought the buckle was a Victorian butterfly sash but im told that its some other type.Vermont copper also from site that I believe due to next to a spring it was a campsite.At this site I pulled out of the ground in pieces what looks to be a sword blade measured at 26 inches in sections.The owner said there was no way that oyster shells where found on her property.Anybody date the plate and the buckle chime in.vanzutphen ]
