Can't believe i never thought of this

Went behind where i live today and found some good stuff in an hour and a half will be going back tomorrow. I think i found an old hunting area from the mid 1800's very heavily littered with rimfire casings of all calibers.

Nice finds, and that's a great looking complete shoe buckle. Would guess late 1700's.

That is one great looking buckle! Congrats on some really nice finds!

You need to add -"found an old buckle" to your title.

Maybe the best example of early buckle seen here in quite some time. Congrats on a very well preserved find.

My moms neighbor told me the buckle is probably the colby family who owned the property from the 1640's and on . The colbys were given the land by the king for setting up the first sawmill on our side of the powwow-river
