And it was found at a homesite! THX.

What's odd about that?


Two Confederate buckles on here this week. I'm going out tomorrow to try and beat the odds and find the rest of mine. Sounds like you need to get back there and find the wreath. Always a crapshoot to find the other half of any buckle at any site... I'm just stoked that yours said "CS" on it. And I agree that even broken it is a Banner find.


BRAVO.


Now change the title of this thread.

nice old buckle there too as well --top notch finding 1/2 of a cs civil war buckle * find the other 1/2 really cool --- great finds overall in my book

A Haiman Style C.S. tongue......

I think you need to post it in a fashion and/or place that people in the know can appreciate your fine artifact.

That is much better than "nice find".

Time to read some reference materials. Best not to dig up marked Confederate central government issued pieces without ABSOLUTELY KNOWING IMMEDIATELY what they are. It does say "C.S." after all, and that is one strong clue.

I agree with being able to identify.  It's most of the reason I joined this site in the first place.  On my buckle post from yesterday--one member said he didn't know where to start--that it all looked like junk to him.  Fortunately most of us move past the "I bought my detector at Wal-Mart" stage quickly--and those that are skilled enough to make good finds start to realize that they need to know as much as they can.


Study up!  Detecting demands something of us--in order for us to be better at what we do.  (And also so we don't happen to throw away valuable finds!)  It ain't all about knowing how to swing a coil correctly, as some of our illustrious "trade axe" finding friends could probably stand to learn...


Best Wishes,


Buckles

I was excited but not sure about the ID. It looked like a G more than a C. After researching a bit, it's the only one i've seen with letters like that.

W W!! Man, oh man that's some fantastic finds. What is the big boxed thing, a cigarette tin? Whatever it is, it's sure neat looking.

I think it might be. The other side is gone but probably not far away.

Lighten up....Have another drink.

Newt, GREAT FIND I'm still dreaming of the day I find my first CS BUCKLE!!!! I agree with Everyone else that it's definitely a "BANNER" find as well as well as Hill Billy's comment about plehbah having another drink. Get back out there and find the wreath...

Isn't detecting already "continuing education"?


I've hunted with ya before, Newt--and I have nothing but respect for you. I've needed help IDing lots of stuff I found.

Great find!!! I'm not 100% sure on the attrib though.. the letters look really close but the loop is different.. I would say it is a different variation.. but then again.. what do I know My only Confederate buckles are a medium fork and a rifle sling... The belt loop is plain.. not ornately cast like the one pictured..

Again.. outstanding find!!!! :-)
