I really hope it's ok to post these in today's finds, because they were actually found a while back8-) I was in shock when my brother sent me a pic txt of a U.S. oval with all hooks intact:hello2: Then, not even 15 minutes later he calls me and tells me he's found another, along with a 12" seat saddle shield!!! I am very happy for him!!! Even though I ended up buying them from him:headbang: I would call that a fantastic day in anyone's book:thumbsup: Anyway, I hope no one is upset about me posting these in today's finds...if so, I do apologize. It's just too good of a day of detecting not to post:hello: I am posting pictures of the buckles when they were first dug, and pictures of the after I gave them a good cleaning:icon_thumleft:

Your brother had a fantastic day, thanks for sharing. I imagine he must have dug some bullets, buttons, and other relics as well. What type of site were they found on and in what state?

Thanks everyone again for commenting:occasion14: The thing about the site he was hunting...it was not a CW site....but indian wars period. I have several other relics that came with the buckles...mostly indian wars, that I am posting pics of. The buckles are definitely CW period or earlier though:thumbsup: 016.JPG
