I hit the three “B’s” at lunch - 3/24

Not having much time to diddle around at lunch, I headed straight for the horse pasture where I found a lot of my keepers lately. It turned out to be a wise decision.

My first keeper was a low tone that turned out to be a cleaner bullet at about 8”.

My second hit was at about 5” and I about soiled myself when I saw the round object with green patina. I was hoping it was a coin, but it ended up being a flat button with a “Gilt” back mark.

My third keeper was deep (about 10”). I kept digging and digging thinking it would be a piece of rusty iron. I’m glad I kept at it as I was surprised by a neat decorative buckle.
It has gold gilt still on it and a bit of weight too. Not the best of shape, but a great piece for my relic display.
Any idea on the age? Could it be CW or too fancy?

So there you have it, the three “B’s”- bullet, button, and buckle.
Not a bad lunch.

Yo Doug,
When did you eat ? I picture you swing with one hand, sandwich in the other, with
one of them hats that you put two can drinks in, on your head.
You are a nut.
Joe
Ps Nice finds. Wish I was with you.

Way to go MM. I find a cleaner every once in awhile. I like the buckle, not sure what era, though.

When I read your title, I was thinkin' CW BELT PLATE! (but the buckle you found is pretty cool too 8)) I'd say post-war, but pre-1900 still perhaps. Ladies' buckle.



Even though my Tnet user name tells ya I should be a buckle expert, if it ain't CW I'm useless... :P

Come on guys admit it, you BOTH asked for a picture of me in that outfit. Nick actually wanted a lifesize version with tassles, and a voice box that said "Who's the Big Ragu? Who's the Big Ragu?."

You guys are just plain sick.
Keep your hands off my ladies buckles too!!!

Thanks Will. I was hoping there would be some writing on the back, but no such luck. Into the relic display it goes.

It doesn't look like that you need a lot time to detect.

You're so thorough, you'll probably end up with the shoes off of the horses.

Now that's a great lunch break MM. No place to relic hunt around here...just a few worn out parks.

Nice luch, MM! I haven't been able to pull a buckle out yet.
Three B's and a beer!!!

Thanks Trusty.
I'll trade one of my "B's" for one of those "B's".

You're so thorough, you'll probably end up with the shoes off of the horses.

Bob,
I already have those. It was tough prying them off of those horses.

Nice finds MM,

The buckle looks Victorian. I'd bent it all out and tumble it.
