Buckles

[robfinds]

Headed out this afternoon to a pasture field (still no ploughed land). Wasn't expecting much, due to the bone dry soil conditions. I was surprised though by the amount of signals, don't get me wrong not loads but enough. I gave the field about three hours before calling it a day. I found a couple of Georgian buckles and a 1886 queen Victoria silver three pence coin.

Robert.

Buckles tend to be common finds in England, especially the later Georgian ones. Makes you wonder why they lost so many.

Common or not, the buckles are a darn good find in my books.

More people = more buckles lost?

I tend to find more of the later horse tack buckles too rather than the earlier ones.

Cool finds. Congrats on getting a bit of silver despite the dry soil conditions.
