Some Colonial and other misc. finds

[Mr. Digger]

Nothing earth shattering here, but I was just happy to be getting my shovel in the ground in late December! The shoe buckle is one of the best I have found. No ID on the copper unfortunately. You can't read it in the photo but the inscription on that rectangular brass plate reads:

John Gale
Maker
South Hampton, NH

I found it in a field next to a 1700's farm house. It looks like it may have come off of some horse tack or farm equipment....I'm researching the name to see what I can come up with.

Happy New Year everyone!
