Thanks VOL.
I may have reached my peak at such a ripe young age.
Hopefully I can find an LC before I hit 100.

I don't think we appreciated how very rare that NC buckle was when you recovered it MM. I have not seen one like it since you dug this one on dealer or treasure sites. It's doubtful you will top this find in your lifetime. This ranks in the top 10 best CW relic finds ever on Tnet in my opinion. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Quindy, very much appreciated. I had no idea how rare that NC buckle was or what the value was. I about croaked when you told me. You're right though, it will be tough for me to top that find and the thrill I got. I'll keep looking though. LOL

That was a day I'll always remember. Great piece of CW history.

Sweet find hope you find the rest, that would be bonus. I can't believe that wasn't already found, oh well the luck of the draw I guess. Keep up the great work and HH.

Believe me I looked. I'm thinking the early 1900's house may have been built on top of it. The 1900's house was built on an 1800's house property. I found this part of the buckle out front.

nice NC buckle

Thanks Hispan.
This may be the best find of my lifetime. but I sure hope not.

Beautiful NC tongue! congratulations. FYI, I have a Gold plated NC wreath that my father found that may fit this. Dont know for sure but at the top of the wreath is NORTH and at the bottom is CAROLINA?

Thanks a bunch. That NC buckle still remains my best find ever. Sounds like your Dad made quite a find too.
We would love to see a few pictures of yours.
Welcome to Tnet too.

Thank you.
I wish it could talk. Maybe it could tell me where the other half went to?
