British 62nd Regiment button, 18th century shoe buckle, some relics.

[Aureus]

Had a decent hunt last week end, unfortunately didn't have a moment to write the post before today.

Here are the most interesting finds from the two spots I hit, one being an early to mid 18th century the other early to mid 19th.

My personal favorite is the 1700's perfectly preserved shoe buckle. Had zero corrosion, the moving parts of it are still functioning as if it was dropped yesterday. Was fairly deep in a water soaked soil which I believe explains the absence of patina. The only thing I have done to clean it is to wash of the dirt.





An other interesting find is a beautiful Victorian (1840's - 50's I would think) British 67th Regiment button. My second one of this type.





From the same site an American 1848 LC. Strangely found my first Matron Head a week before in Vermont on a hunt with Ken/Z.K.





Again from that site a piece of clay pipe by Henderson-Montreal (1800's)





A very nice Jew's Harp from the 18th century site. Only a 3rd one for me.



And a mystery item. Was found a few feet away from my iron pistol buttstock. A very unusual curved shape, I thought at first it might be from a powder flask.





Thanks for the comments.

Very nice array of finds-my favorite is definitely the buckle. It's in pretty incredible condition. And the regimental button & clay pipe aren't half bad either

I cannot believe the condition of that knee buckle! Wowsers!!!! Absolutely incredible that it moves and everything. Very cool. Nice copper and clay pipe too.

You rocked it

I'd call that a great day. Perfect knee buckle and a military button too. No old silver but if that was my criteria for a great day I'd never have one!

Thank you. It's a second buckle from that site, the previous one being of an earlier type. Both are fully functional. The soil treated them very well.

Sweet finds

Two real sweet keepers for the display, congrats. These must be from the bush as the soils have been really kind and no harsh soils from the fields.
