CT CIVIL WAR BUTTON & OLD NAVAL BUCKLE?

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

got out to a old home that i have had permission to hunt in the past.there's alot of junk in this yard and wanted to get back here and give it another shot.the owner is 82 & what a pleasant guy he is.love talkin to him about the old days.
well another full pouch day of junk as you can see.I dug my butt off again

but managed some keepers.a cool green river whiskey watch fob.a 1906 barber qtr,a connecticut civil war button and this navy buckle? is this military issued or civilian like i'm thinking

when i was about to leave the owner told me that his yard and adjacent fields was a civil war camp at some point

I never showed him the button either.
also curious as to what the english lettered plate is? emblem off a old bicycle?

any help would be appreciated.
Dave

Very nice saves!

Nice finds! No idea on the buckle, but with the CT button found in the vicinity, maybe it is military.

Never seen a buckle like that one Dave but the CT button is great. Nice hunt. HH, Quindy.

thanks Q ! what's your opinion though on the buckle? why so small? and ya think it could be military issued?

Nice button, I think the buckle is civilian fashion.

Dave, I looked in the "American Military Belt Plates" book and I don't see it or a style like that. It doesn't look heavy duty enough to hold up in military usage. As I have said many times, I do not profess to be a relic expert so keep looking as it may be just a ladies or kid's buckle but it's stil a cool find. HH Bud, Quindy.

Great finds yesterday Dave!

I really like this 18th c hinge!

Is this a man's ring?
What type of metal is it made of?

Best of luck to you man,

Dave

man those are some great digs. I don't have a clue about the buckle, but I think you're on track with the other item maybe being a bicycle head emblem. If it is, it could be worth a decent amount of change

It's a sash buck with a military (anchor) motiff...

The "H" emblem, is an aftermarket radiator adornment...you could purchase any letter, like your last initial, and it would be attached to the stem portion of the radiator that would stick up...people for years have tried to make them into civil war items when they've dug an A or C, but they're not...I've seen an old mail order catelog with them in it, but can't find the image right now...still a cool find.
