Hit two sites this past weekend, including a farm field and the woods. At the field, I found what I believe is a shoe buckle frame with some interesting zig-zagging pattern on it. Also found this ornate bridle rosette, which appears to be lead or pewter with silver plating. I have not seen one like it posted here, though I saw one just like it on a different metal detecting website, with the person claiming it was from around the time of the American Revolution. Not sure if he is right or not. If anyone has any insights about the buckle or the rosette, I would love to hear them. Also got this thimble, which I had hoped was silver, though I don't think it is. The butterfly is Sarah Coventry jewelry, which was made from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. The flat buttons are from the woods. The two shiny ones are about the best I have ever found, and have a nice shine. Not sure if they are tombac or if it is some sort of silver wash. Thanks for checking out my post and for any comments. Good luck out there and happy hunting
