Past Find "Snake Buckle"

This was found awhile ago, but I don't remember where . I pulled it out of my scrap bucket and put it aside when I was sorting the metals for recycling. Thanks to a post on TNET I finally learn that it's part of a belt buckle used in the civil war by both sides manufactured in England (I think?). Anyway I been lurking here for awhile and not getting out much lately thought I would finally post some of my past finds until I start the 09 season( then I can post my Todays Finds). I learn a lot here and really enjoy the posts, thank you ! & Thanks for looking.

Solid ? It's hard to say, I see no holes or cracks . The weight of just the snake seems it would be, but it's hard to tell.

Looks like a pair of Swans. Swans have always been very popular with the Saxons....jim

LOL, yea, if you look at the picture I posted, you will see in the text that it is referred to as a "duck's head buckle" and it actually looks like there are little wings in the middle! But, they started calling it a snake buckle so that is what it is
