Two are heel plates

I agree that the two are heel plates. The top one is definitely a buckle.

Too one looks like an 18th or early 19th century neck stock buckle. But it looks kinda modern at the same time. Is it silver?

I agree with the others. The bottom two are heel plates. Nice finds.

Thanks for the replies! heel plates definitely make since now! I still kind of new to this! The clasp or buckle wasn’t found far from the boot heels and my metal detector was reading silver range. Also with it being so clean I think it’s real silver but I could be wrong. I’ve been searching in a remote sight that supposedly some skirmishes took place during the civil war. So I will take all the knowledge I can get!

Congrats on the nice relics!

That buckle appears to be for a neck stock, and such buckles are seldom posted especially whole specimens. It appears to be solid silver, and the recovery of a solid silver neck stock is absolutely fantastic. Did you check it for a maker's mark?

Agreed, 18th C Stock Buckle - SILVER

Thanks everybody! No makers mark that I can tell. Would this be worn by soldier?
