A buckle of some kind and a piece of metal that looks like a rock (SOLVED)

[Jack873]

Hello everyone. My area was the end of the stagecoach line so I was curious as to what I could find in my own backyard. A few years ago, we got a small garden with a small tree planted at the foot of our driveway. One day my mom was pulling up weeds there and she found half of a horse shoe. So far I found a bunch of old nails, screw, washers, etc. from when they built my house back in the 1950's and a bunch of random iron objects. My more interesting finds are a toy 1957 Tootsie-toy red Ford Fairland convertible, a few modernday coins, some kind of a buckle, and a non-iron piece of metal that looks like a rock, but it isn't. It's quite heavy for it's size and looks shiny gray/lead in color.

Does anyone know what this buckle might be from or what this piece of metal might be?

your buckle is from horse tack or anything you want to attach a leather strap to,and be able to easily remove.I have several on my saddle I use now

Thank you kruger, that's what I was hoping it might be, but wasn't to sure. Does anyone have an idea as to what my second item might be?

Hello Breezie You can click on the thumbnails to enlarge. It's a pretty large picture, but I could post the original huge size if you wish.

I didn't realize they would enlarge; thanks. It looks like a glob of lead, and probably the reason it resembles a rock is because it was dropped in the dirt (hot), and took on the shape of the land as it cooled. Breezie

Thanks Breezie I was wondering this too after I cleaned the dirt off of it. I compared it to a civil war bullet I have.
