Could this horse tack be gold ??

[Schammitt]

Hello every one and thank you so much for your feedback of what this relic is.. We keep looking at it and we are wondering could it possibly be gold? and not brass? We do not see any marks on it and we did a vinager test on it and it stayed shiny.. Thank you

It's brass for sure . it's best to leave the patina on your relics , buffing them to look like new is not desired by collectors.
with horse tack it's no big deal and even looks nice but if it were a Civil war buckle you would have done major damage to the value. good luck , now go dig some treasure..

I know it's brass because if it were gold it would not have been green. and brass buckles are a very common find , I found 2 this week .

Brass, copper, bronze, will mostly turn dark after being in the ground a long time. Gold would probably come out shiny.
