Some more colonial from the river

toasted · Sep 5, 2019

I havent been hunting a lot lately but I managed to get out and explore some new areas along the river tonight. Found a few musketballs, a toasted copper and a shoe buckle frame made out of what appears to be lead/pewter :dontknow:

First target of the night and my best find in awhile is my first entirely complete colonial era buckle :headbang:

I am still in awe after learning that there is such a large following of colonial era buckle collectors, which I had barely heard of prior to reading a post a few weeks back. It is something that we wouldn't find out here in Southern California. However, I can appreciate the buckles and the intense following they have. Looks like a great find, congratulations!

Thanks. I love finding early buckles. Ive got a bunch but this one is in my top three. You just dont find complete two piece buckles like this. Most of them had iron guts anyway
