Found the small but heavy Sterling belt buckle. It was the only good find of a very short hunt.

Sweet find. I found one last year but it was hollow, not solid like yours. That must be over an ounce.

Very close to it. It weighs 26.3 grams.
 

Nice buckle :icon_thumright:
 

wow, i would be very happy to find that!
 

Mexican silver is VERY collectable. A quick search shows that it was made in Guadalajara (the triangle tells us that). The eagle with the 50 in it is the Maker's Mark. If you can find a copy of "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks: Hecho en Mexico" I believe you will find out who Eagle 50 is on page 162 (that page is not included in the on line version of the book).
