I'm in Kentucky. I found this buckle while digging weeds out of my garden today. I was going to toss it but I decided to clean it up with a toothbrush and water and take a closer look. It has a loop on the left side but none on the right. I can see an eagle grasping three arrows in the...

Hey Guys, So went out hunting for the first time this year on Sunday 2/28. Finally the ground out here in New Hampshire is finally starting to thaw! I figure I would go out for a quick hunt and see how the conditions turned out. There are two old schools nearby. One, an elementary school...

This artifact was found folded and bent, I slowly, slowly straightened it out, with some success. It is broken in half, so I sketched out what it may have oridinally looked like. LOTS of GOLD wash present, over copper. Very ornate and was found in an area that has yielded a Spanish Half...

Post Civ bridle buckle. I found this today in southwest Missouri. While researching I find a lot that are otherwise identical except this just has a circle in the middle instead of a heart.

I found this buckle on a 1756 home site. I've heard talk about shield buckles before, but this is my first, assuming that's what it is. Can anyone provide any info on these? When I first saw it, I thought it might have a military connection. The button and crusty Indian head were found on the...

Found these items today in the same general location. I think they are definitely colonial, but leave it to the experts. A Union camp was nearby as was a colonial village. Thank you in advance! Here is the link to photos. Both items appear to be iron...

Someone told me what they think it is but I want to see more opinions. The nails also if you want to look and see what they are. The buckle is not that big as you can see by the coins there. The nails are well rusted but the shape is still good. As for the land where they have been found it was...

Hello all, I went for a quick after work jaunt through our woods in Leesburg, VA and found this about 4-6" deep. It appears to be iron and has a sizeable weight to it...one side of the middle piece is flat, almost as if it sat up against something. I'm thinking it might be some kind of buckle...

I found this shoe buckle metal detecting the other day. It was 10" down and seems to be made of brass. It measures 1 3/4" by 2 3/4 ". I posted pics on another discussion board and they all say it's an authentic Colonial era shoe buckle. My questions are: 1) Is it really that old? 2) Is it...

Hi! I got out on Saturday for a day or hunting with one of my very good friends--NJLargeCent. He got permission to the grounds of a log cabin house that dates back to ca 1900--not ancient, but any day with nice weather and good company is a treat. The finds were a bit scarce on this property...

Hi folks - I just found this site, and am already enjoying it very much. My father was a "picker" and amassed a lot of interesting things, so I have a few items I could use help with, and I am also happy to help out if I can. This "button" appears to be filled with lead or solder on the...

Hello Friends, I'm very fortunate that there's a great old-timer I know who's a family friend, and he lets me hunt his property whenever I like. It's an old house that started as a general store in the 1830s, set on about 8 acres. I've mostly hunted the immediate back yard, and every time I dig...
