Congrats on the finds! I especially like that batwing buckle. I've never seen one dug among my group. What would it have been used on? Date range?

Best of my knowledge its early 1800s and they were used as harness buckles . But im not positive on that

Wow! Awesome finds, Congrats!

Excellent finds that Batwing buckle is a beauty! I would be really excited to find that aside from the coppers that are always a cool thing to find!

Correct & I think the heart buckle shield is post-CW.

Those bat wing harness buckles turn up regularly in New York and the New England states. But I have never seen one dug in Southwestern PA or anywhere else in the US for that matter.

Nice group of finds. Enjoy your new site while you can. Are you sure that thimble is Silver and not Aluminum? Some of the corrosion looks like what you get on Aluminum.

I haven't cleaned it totally. I was going by the signal it rang up . It may be aluminium as i haven't cleaned it enough to find a marking

Its another ebay myth to grab your money. Lots of people think it as its taken hold. Thats why on here we need to keep it real.
