The other day, when I found the spectacle buckle, that I posted under "buckle up", my good friend awdw said that he had one just like it from about a year ago. He had dug his probably within 30 feet of where I found mine. Anyway, when your talking about 17th century buckles, and somebody says "found one just like it," you don't imagine that it's really JUST like it. So we compared them tonight, and it turns out they are exact matches - same mold.

In the second photo I made my buckle black and white and bumped up the contrast. Then I made awdw's 50% transparent and placed it over the image of mine.

They need to be kept together so who gets them?

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Why do they need to be kept together?
 

Neither of you get them....you should adopt them out.....to me, and yes I will keep them together and safe.:laughing7:
 

Excellent find congrats
 

Sounds like a shared custody issue with weekend visitation rights for one of you ! Get a good attorney. Nice finds !
 

Very cool and I like the overlay effect to prove they are doubles... I say flip a coin but make sure it's a trick coin! Haha!
 

Heads you win. Tails he loses.
 

Well done, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

The person who found the first one but the other should give that person something equil to the buckle or send them to me. Lol why do they need to be kept together in the first place
 

That’s just his way of trying to get me to give mine up. If he builds display case we will talk.
 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

To complicate matters awdw and I each found one half of the same 18th century paste cufflink. Or, maybe that makes it simple. One gets the whole cufflink, and one gets the matched spectacle buckles.
 

I found one too, just not as fancy as yalls.

I was thinking knee buckles, but I guess they could have been used on some horse tack. I don't know. I also don't know how you lose two. We've found a lot of buckles on this site, but this is the only pair. As for coins... I wish. I'm afraid they have been few and far between.
