Eagle belt buckle

[woolshed]

I found this today, a belt buckle with an Eagle on it. The buckle is made of Bronze and is heavy. The area that I was detecting dates 1850s - 1870s but has modern stuff mixed in with it. So is the buckle old or modern.







I also found part of a buckle with a Rose on it.





And a small dress button.





Cheers, Woolshed.

That is one nice tongue portion of a beautiful buckle. Looks like the rose motif was also a tongue of a different buckle that likewise was the tongue portion. I would be back lookin for the rest of them, the other halves.

Thank you for your replies. Just a few questions. Is it American,? as Americans were at this site. ( gold fields ) and is the Eagle buckle the right size or has it been cut down. Photo of the back of the buckle.



Again, thank you for your replies. Cheers, Mick.
