"US" Belt Buckle and SILVER!

[68K]

Today I found my first silver coin since July! It is my first Mercury Dime and it is a beauty! I also found a Civil War US Belt Buckle, and a 3 Ringer! All of this came from the same park as the 1787 Connecticut Copper and the 1809 Half Cent. I was so excited when I found all of these.

Did you hit the buckle with your digging tool?

Nice finds there...and ya know, I like the look of the beat up plates just as much as the pristine ones. So much history there!!

No it was cracked and a small piece broke off while cleaning the dirt off of it . It is still cracked if you look carefully. The arrow on the back was already broken off. I found it in the hole while checking it after pulling the buckle out.

Awesome buckle and some silver too! The weird aluminum thing in your video is a pipe cleaner/tamper.
