GORGEOUS SILVERED COLONIAL SHOE BUCKLE*GROUP HUNT

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Dan invited us for a group hunt to 3 of his sites.left to right is Jesse(sniffy)Dan (Del) me(heavymetalnut) Todd(Thiltzy) & Ray (Kray) from Va.
we really had to work for our finds as these sites were hit pretty good in the past.i got a few buttons,a 1859 IH penny and the most ornate applied silver colonial shoe buckle i've ever dug.I used the fine brass bristled brush,with warm water & dish soap and it cleaned up beautifully.was a gorgeous day finally,and good to get back out with the guys.thanks Dan for the invite

Some pretty good finds in there. Belt buckle is awesome and so is that rectangle flower thing, for some reason I liked that piece.

Absolutely gorgeous buckle!! Somehow I've never dug one of those, and after seeing yours its now high on my list. Great hunt.

A group hunt like that looks like a lot of fun.

And a prize like that to top it off. What a day.

Awesome buckle, congrats.

You know what would be twice as good....finding the mate too it.

Unreal buckle. Sweet find

Man that silver plating held up beautifully! For some reason, those ornate buckles are hard to find down here...at least I haven't dug one. Of course, a lot of the buckle pieces I find have been plowed to death. Congrats!

Thats very nice, I can only ever get small pieces of this type, the plough kills these.
