Indian and ???silver

[RelicMedic]

Hey folks. Went to my go-to spot that I have pounded for the past year first step after turning on the Etrac, I got a wonky bouncy signal going from 09-41 to 11/12-47. Pulled an 1899 Indian Head then about 2" deeper in the same hole, a piece of something that I THINK is silver. It reads solid 11-47. Any guesses I. What it could be? Thanks for looking and HH

I think it could be a handle to a silver tray, but idk...

Keep @ it and HH !!

Ummmm, how big is the piece? Buckle sounds right.

Thanks bud. It's good to be back in the game! The piece is about 2"x 1"

I think shoe buckle part is correct - does it seem like the two finds are related ? in addition to the buckle part being 2 inches deeper,
it is from aprox . a century earlier than the Indian Head cent ?

Looks like you are on to a good site.Nice looking indian.HH

The depth and age of the finds from that site correspond. Late 19th century items are 2-4 inches shallower than the really old stuff (1787 Massachusetts cent, 1797 cartwheel penny). I would say it's older that the IH.

I agree with romeo. Part of a shoe buckle frame.... and a nice one at that. The silver ones don't turn up too often.
