Found frame buckle near CW site

[treasurehound]

I didn't have anywhere to go today so I went to an old site that has produced some relics in the past. I think an old house sat close by as I have found a lot of pottery pieces and trash. The good finds are masked in with the junk so I was digging every iffy target I got. Today I found an old toy car, piece of a pocket knife, a few clad coins, a piece that says FOMOCO I think and my best find of the day. I had a deep target that was an old frame buckle. It measures 3 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" high and it appears to have been smooth at one time. Looks like it had three prongs as there are three notches in the middle bar. It could be older than CW as this area dates back to the 1700's as well. I will post on What Is It as well.

Randy, you were relic hunting as I should have been instead of getting "Gator Bit" in Knoxville today. Nice Finds. I have seen a buckle like that listed on Tnet before. Buckleboy or Kuger (Cody) will know the age. HH, quindy.

I actually think that buckle is a bit newer. A CW frame buckle should be brass, not iron. But keep at it.

Best Wishes,

Hmm... FOMOCO? looks like Ford Motor Company... Hope this helps!

I was told that this was a slider buckle. I am still researching it.
