[Broken knee]

Could this be a knee or shoe buckle and approximate date.
Thanks, Broken Knee

SS, I'm still amazed at what I'm finding. Check out the eagle pic's in today's finds. Posted under today's finds west of the muddy mile.

I think it more likely a shoe buckle from 1720s-1790s

See similar (no. 21)

Asymmetrical openwork with moulded, scrolled surface decoration & corroded steel spindal. (similar 'Buckles' No.690.)

A very nice one at that

Where does all the 1600s stuff go now that I'm thinking about it? And what about 1500s? You never hear anything from them.

We find some 1600 stuff here in Florida but population was very, very sparse. I dont think the very early colonists had much.

Here in Florida all colonies failed south of Saint Augustine and the Calusa tortured and killed any shipwreck survivors prior to 1715. But apparently the colonies further north were more successful.

This I believe to be true as well! When I find things here that start getting back to that date it is in small remote areas and not alot of it metal wise to be found.Just my experience.Pushing those type dates would be hard to get alot from one site I think.Here anyway!
