Congrats on an excellent find. Plow struck or not, at least its still in good enough shape to display, and its yours ! If everything came out of the ground in mint condition, we would just go to the store and buy it rather than dig it, and that would not be fun !
I would definitely have it professionally restored.
It is a Holy Grail of buckles.
Congratulations
I know I’m late to the show here but cool find! You don’t see those around too often.
That’s a sweet find. Big congratulations on a huge bucket lister. I guess it’s safe to say you dug the whole place up looking for the other half... right?
Wow wonderful find. Glad you got a bucket list item after 40 years.
