Some recent finds for your viewing pleasure. Found two complete Colonial shoe buckles on the same hunt...one of them still hinges like the day it was made! Found the typical copper New England mystery disc...the coin is too far gone to ID (it's thin...probably a KG). The silver plated pocket watch and the fob were in the same hole. Pretty cool that the "B" on the fob matches the initials on the face of the watch. Thanks, and HH everyone!

wow its pretty rare to find a matching set of shoe buckles (one usually breaks or lost then the other is either reused or thrown out ) both of those had to of been out fashion and discarded because they both don't look broken . they have the popular "Rose nail head" with boarder design , finding the pocket watch with the fob is very cool as well . all high value targets , i'd be hitting that site a few more times.

All your finds are cool. I like the Fob the Best.
The buckles are cool, but I know nothing about them.
Not to many here in Illinois. LOL
enjoyed the video as well.

Obvi you hit a place that was/is a scout camp to find the slide and knife and the fob. Those buckles are nice tho. Congrats on finding them and the watch.

Dan, the fact that one is bent more than the other doesn't signify "broken"? Maybe discarded for such a reason. idk, maybe I am questioning about symantics..?

Thanks for kudos on the buckles, everyone. Here are a couple more pics of them. I found them on the same day in relatively close proximity to each other and they are the same style but as you can see one is just slightly smaller than the other (and also more curved).
