Back to the Dump yields a wwi German buckle

[celtex]

The old dump keeps on giving. I got a GOTT MIT ANS Imperial Buckle, brass but was gilded at one time. The shield was soldered to the buckle.

Also got a real neat miniature porcealine tankard from the late 20s and a Puss n boots baby fork, plate.

I know! I bet some wwi vet brought it back as a trophy. The nice thing about the dump is it dates from the early 1900s to no earlier than 1930. I found a license plate from 1930 as the youngest item todate. Earliest coin to date is an 1864 Indian. But tokens, coins, silverware, bottles; you name it we find it.

That German buckle is interesting for your area. It could have been a souvenoir from WWI or from a possible WWI POW camp in the area? HH and nice finds, Mike

It is a little funny that, you find a German military buckle in Texas and I found an 1864 IH in a German field, my only IH American find, LOL. HH, Mike
