Buckle Day

[raylinhn]

I got permission to hunt a rather new housing development where there once was a Grist Mill. Parts of the dam were on both sides of the creek, but other than a few nails I didn't get any hits. So as I was leaving the neighborhood I noticed a tree on a hill that looked to me like it would have been a homestead site. Stopped my car and went to check it out, right away I saw the pile of stones and some old bricks. After digging up 12+ Mason jar lids and what appears to be a possible money clip I hit onto a brass buckle and as the search continued the site gave up three more. The other small brass buckle I found last Sunday not far from a chimney that had been hunted by many. Thanks for looking

Some nice finds.
That piece you thought was a money clip is actually an aluminum clothes pin. I think from about the 1940's. I've dug a lot of those.
Congrats,

Nice work! Why don't all those mason jar lids we find have any glass or money underneath them? LOL!

Neat finds! The smallest buckle may have been for strap on young girl's shoe. Andi
