Bunch o buckles

[cam9457]

I seem to find at least one buckle every time I get out detecting. My question is are any of these OLD? I mean older then 1900? Thanks in advance

Harness buckles...could be 1800s but impossible to tell...

Thats what I was thinking, some were at Rev war sites and others just at old home sites

You got quite the collection there.
Great!

very possible pre 1900 hard to say for sure --the area where they were found at and its historical useage might help a lot for figgering out their age / use .

Probably not older than 1880, although the top right might be.

They are mostly horse harness related.

The bulk of them were found at a property near me that dates to about 1640. The rest were all dug at revolutionary war sites around me.

I agree with Crusader.  Not much older than 1880's.  I've never found these at sites that fell out of use before the CW.
