King George and Chape from a Colonial Shoe Buckle...1868 U.S. Grant Campaign Pin

[Kirk PA]

I dug this King George II copper and relics on our latest Colonial site. The highlight of the hunt was a 1770's shoe buckle chape!

It says: "General Grant" with the date "1868" below it. It is Civil War-related.

You post a close up of a broken shoe buckle part but not a neat button?

Kirk, a great mixture of finds you have there. I think the Grant token/button might be your best one, if it is a period one. Noticed a couple buttons have design, which is always a bonus and love Tombacs, even when broken, always a sign of the right era we all want to detect at!

Nice buckle. Not old enough here for that kinda stuff so I'm jealous.

Even if it's post it looks pretty cool.

Kirk just told me, "No, no, no...I'd much rather have the chape over the 1868."

It is a cool find.

Kyle, do you notice a trail of broken crack pipes when you detect behind your brother?

I think that broken buckle part would make a nice frame for the button.
