NICE! Any personally found Civil War era belt buckle is a worthy find. The only one I ever found was at a yard sale and although I'm leary of the newer reproductions I know that one is authentic. No question at all on your US belt buckle being authentic. Doesn't it make you wonder what all might be laying around in the area? Have you came down from cloud nine yet over that nice find? Congratulations on a really nice find.
