Spectacle buckle with the Nox

[toasted]

Took my new Equinox 600 to hunt the outskirts of an area of the gold coin field where I have found some colonial stuff. Would have found this stuff with most any detector but I can say I like the Nox a lot so far. Got a few buttons, toasted copper and other decorative colonial items but the best signal and find by far was only my second ever complete spectacle buckle. This would most likely date to the late 17th to very early 18th century. Its nearly identical to my other one too. Best relic Ill probably find for quite some time imo

I wonder just how common it was to use old buckles. I would imagine they were used until lost, broken or maybe thrown away because out of style

Fairly common but more common in the new world where supply of these were limited.

I’ve found a couple or early buckles on a mid18th Century site. But still no spectacle buckles. High on my list....very high. You’ve found a couple of beauties bud

Fantastic Spectacle Buckle! The decorative leather mount is a nice relic too.

Very nice early buckle toasted, definitely following the NOX posts more carefully

Thanks. I love finding early buckles more than anything else. Except maybe for gold coins and early gold/silver items. The Nox should be in everyones arsenal. Ive made too many good finds amongst the iron on pounded sites in the past week to deny its abilities.
