Nice Ornate 18th Century Shoe Buckle & More!

[mangum]

I had a great time this weekend & got my dirt therapy! Saturday I visited a distant relative who had a family photo I was looking for (so happy he found it!). He also happens to own an 1840 plantation (beautiful, fully restored). He thought one part of the house may be older. I confirmed his suspicions, my second target was a late 1700s shoe buckle! I also found a neat assortment of other relics including a silver pocket watch frame. Yesterday I got out with my buddy Jim & we hit a couple of spots we’ve pounded. He found a nice Civil War bullet & I got an Indian Head & an ornate shoe buckle piece. It was a beautiful weekend to get out & save some history!

I am always in awe of how great your pics come out verses my amateurish pics. You could make a clad haul look banner worthy.

Nice buckle Josh. Never seen one with that design before. Maybe Spanish silver is next ....

That's a nice one. One of the most ornate I've seen. Congrats.

Thanks Bill, I hope so! I don’t find many coins at these sites, guess they had well made pockets!
