Naval officer lost something

[K. FLEMING]

] It was amazing that I didn't tear it up. He must have dropped it going in the house and then they laid the driveway right on top of it. I actually put a couple of nicks in the front of course but you can't really see them unless you tilt it in the sunlight. Made my weekend though. I have pulled more than 20 coins from the same house but only one silver a quarter 1942 all the rest modern clad. 1865-1870 naval officers belt buckle from which his sword hung. Had to dig through 5 inches of packed driveway gravel but glad I did. It was amazing that I didn't tear it up.

That is an awesome relic! One has to wonder how one would drop that. Looks like a great keeper though!

Nice work K, Beautiful save!

Perhaps dropped by a child! They are the best friends we'll ever have!

More likely some kids were playing with it at a later date. It would be almost impossible to have that type of buckle fall off the belt. NICE FIND!!
