Two shoe buckles I have found so far. One on the beach in Va, other in Pa stream.

The first one is in great shape for being in the ocean and buried in the sand. The other (3 pieces) came out of a stream in Bucks County Pa where a stream crosses an old colonial road. Both pewter.

Stream Buckle: (at least I THINK it's a shoe buckle)

That first buckle is an old beauty, for sure. Nice finds Looks like you had a fun hunt, and hunting near water is a good idea in this heat.

Hunting IN the water is even better!
