Found today a few older items from a old dirt road that goes back to colonial times. One early simple brass buttons and brass buckle which is now my 11th from the area. 1919 Buffalo Nickel (P) in really decent condition. 1968 Canada penny. 1995 Jim Beam novelty item. But a pair of brass winged like items that lock together in the back. Not sure what they are, but they were very deep. Found about 500 ft apart. Lucky day.

Some very nice saves. Congrats. Welcome to tnet from Niagara Falls.
 

Welcome Cape Hunter and congrats!
If the two wings fit together what do the backs look like, with a size reference please. Early guess, is a sash buckle. Whether ladies or ceremonial may never know.
I have the same Beam key ring that I keep some small tools on. Chain saw carburetor gages, in specific. I think the intent of the key ring is, "If you drink that much Beam, we ain't letting you drive anywhere, ever!" LOL

Best wishes and update us on the "Wings" please?
 

Very nice finds. I agree with Reanm8er. I was going to suggest Sash Buckle.
 

Nice relic hunt, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Yes, sash buckle!
 

Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Thank you Phil! I think your right about the sash. I'm putting a better image up with size.
 

Many Thanks for all the great responses! I have a image that shows the back of this brass sash. IMG_20190615_063737290.webp
 

Awesome find on the Sash Buckle. Good luck!
 

These are much of the items I have found in one small area that was a early cart way but just a dirt path today. Must have been a busy road in it's day. Found a half a musket ball white as a marble when I took it out of the ground. Measures .75mm might be from a Brown Bess. The road was used by British troops to cross the cape.
