Three times in a row witrhin a month I've walked the shore road by the swamp, cut into the swamp at a different random place each time , and each time within a few seconds got my only good signal of the couple hours spent hunting. Besides this buckle, the finds today were a couple bronze nails in a little peice of buried wood, a piece of flattened lead probably to hold a flint, and lots of shotgun shells. The immediately found things the other two times this were a reale, and the other time an 1808 artillery button.

I like the buckle because this specific type is almost always a baldrick ( buckled the strap which went over the shoulder to hold the sword), and because I found it in view of the Barnegat inlet which saw some pirate action in the 17th and 18th centuries when this design was in use. Thanks for looking.
