I don't know how old these belt buckels are but the brass one looks very old. No writing on it and if anyone wants to guess how old it is I sure would like it. The token is a spur gas station token and it's aluminum and it was about 6 inches deep. It showed up as a dime on the Ace 250. I'm sure there's some goodies there somewhere because there's a bunch of glass in the holes and small pieces of brick and something that looks like asbestos siding about 1/8" thick in a bunch of the holes I dug. Oh, I found these at the same site I found the 1920 German coin. It will take weeks to look it good I guess. There's some 8" plus targets that show up iffy and just might be good ones. I'll have to wait on rain to dig that big of a hole. We are close to 10" below normal for rainfall this year already and we are about to get into the dry season.

always like to see what you dig up , Danglangley. Keep'em rollin' HH
 
SPUR (the Spur Distributing Co. of Nashville, TN) was founded in 1928. They were bought out by Murphy Oil in 1960, but I believe that Spur remains a regional brand today.

Great finds! We could use some of those gas tokens now!
 
The brass buckle is a clipped edge buckle. It was made between 1830 and 1890.
