Thanks in advance!

The first buckle looks early 20th century, maybe late 19th. But the second buckle, to me, looks like a broken half from the 1600's to 1700's. Try this link for the second buckle, No. 81 and 82, on the bottom row. Nice finds mate

Thank you. I thought the second broken buckle might be from the 1600-1700's, but I thought the first was older for some reason. I thought I had some photos of a similar buckle that was also 16-1700's.

I think the first buckle is just a cheap harness buckle, I could be wrong, but the early ones are normally copper alloy or bronze . If SS or Cru chip in they may confirm or not. The second one is a nice find though

You could be totally right, and probably are. I actually found that first buckle over a year ago and was just told about some finds that were made in that field including a cob. I also did pretty well there with early coppers, so I was just hoping. The second buckle (piece) was found today.

The first one looks mid 1700's to early 1800's, the second, again, late 19th to early 20th. Nice range soil you have there, any musket balls yet?

The buckle in the fourth picture looks similar to this one I found a few weeks ago.
