Hi all,
These are from a recent hunt. I am guessing this beautiful silver plated item is a rosette from a saddle. On the back it has a bar going across bent at 90 degrees with a piece of leather still attached. Above it is the more traditional rosette we are used to from the same hunt. There are two square " napkin holders" made of the same metal found quite a distance away on the same field (one is in the top of 5th pic). Any clue if these items go together?
Then a nice intact shoe buckle?
A knee buckle (looks silver and rang up silver?)?
And this decorative lead flower which is ornately twisted lead. Top of third pic. This thing is awesome!
Spectacle buckle (4th dirt pic). This thing is old!
Any idea when these items are from?
I am guessing spectacle is 1700 ish, knee buckle early 1700s, shoe buckle mid 1700s, rosette 1812 ish, lead piece early 1800s. Let me know your thoughts. I can't wait until we get some rain so I can keep digging this site.
