Two snakes to gether.

[Brian C.]

I thought I would post the two snake buckles together in another post. The other double headed buckle came from an old tavern site. I walk quite a distance from the tavern location that is just a field to find this nice looking snake. I have found peaces of others before, it never amazes me at what might be under the next coil swing. I started using my whites 5900 again and man it does a great job, you can tell when you have junk or something that is a keeper. I hope you enjoy these pictures, if anyone can lead me to a site with these buckles. I am also trying to identify an old copper I found several years back, it is hard to see but I think it might be George the first. I will post the two coins in another post.HH

Thats cool stuff there Brian !

I wonder why we still play in the dirt or on some days mud, it just gets better.

Are they snakes or sea dragons.

I am not really sure, there is one site I found that had several different types and periods. I would like to know what the meaning of the snake was for the buckle is.

Nice finds.
I agree-when all else fails or you just want to get back to basics-the 5900 is an awesome machine.

the use of a snake design is a because of it general overall shape -- its a "s" belt type hook often used as sword belt hooks --being it is normally made of brass and is cast in a "s" type of shape , a snake is a very "natural" design to use --the snake style sword belt buckles were used in both the american rev war era thru the civil war era by americans .--- very cool find.

being your in canada -- most likely your's came off a british officers sword belt * they too used the snake sword belt design.

Thanks for the snake design info. This is what makes this forum a great place to post our finds and have people that know their history and can identify almost everything that is posts.

Snakes alive! Those are nice.

yes the snake sword buckle design has been used for a long time by the brits cru -- I was just giving a hint of possible time frame of use being it was found in canada -- its age range would be limited to when canada was explored by europeans or americans I would think .

Like those snakes. Cool finds.
