🥇 BANNER CS buckle found in Goldsboro, NC this past weekend!!!

[Gilligan]

Finally, after detecting around Goldsboro for 26 years, I struck it big with this CS buckle. All 3 hooks in the back are fully intact as you can see. What a thrill. I have emailed a couple different appraisers. I found it with the Fisher F-75 LTD and it was about 4" deep. The area was a known Union soldier encampment. Thanks

Wow that is a great looking one! I wonder if a union soldier took it off a conferate as a souvenir! That one is perfect!

Nice buckle. They call that the "sardine can" buckle. I don't have my Confederate buckle book in front of me or I could give you more info. Here is a link to another one that was posted a couple years ago. That is a Banner find.

Now there's a find you will not forget... And we probably will not forget this thread soon either because I predict it will be on the banner!

Very nice!

Congrats from one "downeaster" to another. I grew up in Kinston and spent quite a bit of time in Goldsboro. I just have to say that if you have been detecting for 25 years and were lucky enough to find that awesome buckle you aren't likely to find another. Unless you're in a financial bind I would never sell that awesome relic. If you do sell it I promise one day you will regret it. Either way, congratulations!

Luke that is NOT considered a "clipped corner' buckle. Here is and example of a clipped corner buckle. Clipped corner buckles are typically sheet brass with the corners clipped to take away the sharp points. Gilligans buckle is cast brass and that style CS buckle is known as the "sardine can" style.
