I have yet to find an early shoe buckle like that (very much on my wish list) we would list it as 1660's to about 1690 here in America , curious as to what the Midieval buckle's function was ! I sure wish I could still see grass here Willems , don't you guys get winter over there ?:lol:

Yes, both very nice finds! I agree, lucky you have such nice weather. Cold by me too. It was -10 (-24C) lately and even the air is getting hard. :lol:

Nice start to the New Year Willems! Envious that you're still getting out. -20F this morning here in Burlington, VT with a foot of snow and the ground is frozen down to at least that deep. I'd need a jackhammer or back hoe to do any digging up here right now.

Thanks for posting as most of over here are frozen in and every little bit of eye candy helps. Great finds.
