One keeper from the hay field. Colonial buckle?

VERMONTPACKRAT · Oct 31, 2009

I squeezed a short hunt in this morning in the hay field. I could not seem to pick up anything even worth posting >:(

About half way home I hit a nice repeating signal and out came this buckle. I am not really sure what kind of buckle it is. Age? I put the Half Dollar in for size comparison. I am hoping for it to be some kind of colonial era shoe buckle.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for more copper.

I think that one is suspender related and 1800s.

Definitely an awesome find. You'll come across your colonial buckle soon enough.

I was thinking colonial at first until I saw the back of it. I have to agree with BuckleBoy, an 1800's suspender buckle. Still cool though.

I will be headed back over to the far corner again the first chance I get. That will not be until next weekend. Hopeing to pull out a few more oldies before I have to call it a season.
