Lots of fun in all of those finds!! congrats

There is a pieces that looks like a part of a buckle, in the pics of the end, that has a fantastic green patina.
Do you know what it is? for the color and state I would say its very old!

I like all those round buckles

The Green patina thing is a piece of a pretty buckle, dating at least to 17-18 th century. The round Buckles are around 16-17th century.
