Z it was surely someone who was very well off to spend so much on a non necessity , a type of colonial man-jewelry and a symbol of his social status in the community.thanks for the comments.Quote:

Really very nice Dan. I've only got half as many in about 15 years but they are my favs. I have a short video that shows me digging a silver buckle. YouTube cttodd1

Thanks Willems , i have those two links in the Ye Olde Relic Hunter's Resource Guide stickied at the top of the that page . I actually voted for your shoe buckle (as it was even older than mine) love those early pieces.
Dan, you are now crowned, THE SILVER BUCKLE KING !! And I think the 47 Rosie is cool too :yes:
Thanks Del thumbsup01Quote:

:wow: Great Buckles Dan !! Can you imagine the wealth the owner must of had to own something like that ? Great going and good to hear that the Bugs are going away. This Summer was terrible .
:wow: Cool find Dan!! :perfect10:
Congrats on scratching a item off of your wish list! :clapping:
It's amazing how the silver can withstand the elements for all those years! :yes:
I found an all silver pin once. Although it's not 200+ years old :dontknow: lol but I was surprised that the pin on the ... pin ... was silver too. :yes:
Cool stuff thumbsup01
Congrats Dan-o! :grin:
Definitely a rare one. I can only recall one early solid silver knee buckle being dug anywhere close to me. Was nice though, early 1700s with hallmarks!
Absolutely gorgeous !!
