Confederate SC large oval belt buckle

And this is a SC Confederate belt buckle I found.....

Would like to have more information. The buckle doesn't look like it was dug. I say this for a lack of a patina on the buckle. Pleas explain where the buckle was found.
It is indeed a very nice fine and a rather scarce fine. HH TomB

That is an amazing find...Did you try and polish it?

That's a banner buckle!

Looks like a water find, I have found brass relics in the water that come out looking like this, could you post a pic of the back? :thumbsup:

Very nice piece, regardless of origin. You must be proud of that one!

They need to move them to another area since they are not a "Todays Find". Either that or we all start pulling things out of cabinets and posting them. :dontknow:

He's been registered for one whole day and probably didn't read the rules about posting in Today's Finds. Looks to me like he's just showing off some stuff he dug in the past, and this plate looks like its dug, just overcleaned. The other relics he's posted all look legit.

Lots of nice Items you're posting, 3 of them would be banner worthy.
(if you had more of a history, and told about how you found them).
How bout some info with your great finds?
We would love to hear the stories,
start hitting those keys after you hit the dirt

What does the back look like?

You come crashing in with your rare finds in good condition & posted it all in the wrong forum, how very dare you :laughing9:

(just kidding)

You would have made your life easier if you had put them in the 'Best Finds' section, having said that I do believe they are dug, maybe this one was over cleaned or a freshwater find.

We all like some details & that is why you had such a hard time. A simple introduction & story would have helped you a lot.

A belated welcome from across the pond :hello:

Just shake it off & keep posting :hello2:

I agree with Tokens70 looks like a water find.

Ahhaa! You are from Summerville arent you? Those relics ya got there look very familiar just like some my cousin has! anyway if u r MP why didnt ya tell me u was joining up I coulda let ya in on easy ways to make this tuff crowd more appreciative when u do share ur digs. I dont post to the metal detectin part ne more to many experts here mostly just stick to the native american relic section not alot of braggin bout new expensive machines over there! Remember when we use to relic hunt wid a shovel a sifter n a magnet!
