High on a granite ridge overlooking a creek, I found this buckle in the leaves of a rock crevice. It appears to have Dogwood blooms on it. Have you seen any others like this or have other ideas? Thanks and happy hunting.

Nice find - however it is not a civil war wreath. It is a sash buckle wreath, judging by the size, most likely womens victorian era. Still very cool
 

Nice old piece! Congrats!
 

Nice buckle!
 

Thanks for the update regarding the class of buckle. That helps!

"A high granite ridge overlooking a creek" Hmmmmm.... Sounds like a spot a fella' would take a lady...now why the hell would a belt buckle fall off there?
