I dug a South Carolina buckle this weekend !!!!!!!

My trusty T2 LTD found me two really sweet relics this weekend. Not long ago I found that 1795 half dime and now this, what a year I'm having !! :headbang: Here's a few pics. The buckle is just as dug other than I brushed the sand off it, found at over a foot in the ground. The navy was all of 14 inches if not more.The site was supposedly hunted out according to the owner, the LTD was smoking!! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Re: I dug a South Carolina buckle this weekend !!!!!!!

Yep, that's a banner buckle if I've ever seen one. Just about any state buckle, CS or Union, should make it. Got my vote :icon_thumleft:

It's a D. Evans & co attleboro mass . This BM dates from the 1850's - 1880's. It was found along with several eagle buttons, eagle I's, New York & Connecticut civil war period state seals. Nothing post war came from this plantation site area in coastal South Carolina. It's a period button without a doubt.
