As someone who lives and detects in Massachusetts, I think that is one fantastic find. How interesting that this little old suspender buckle traveled all the way across the country...its owner no doubt planning to hit it rich in the California gold fields. Thanks for posting.
Hendo you will have to open a gold rush museum pretty soon at this rate. I agree with Silvermonkey. As a Bay Stater, it is very cool to see a bit of our local history associated with the California gold rush.
Back at the same Gold Rush camp in Northern California where I found the cache of mining equipment I found this Mass. State Seal suspender buckle patent 1850 and a few feet away was the swivel tab! View attachment 1903096 View attachment 1903097 View attachment 1903098
