Shoe Buckle and Keepers
I just saw Jared Bucknut's post, so I'll post this then head over to his for a closer look. I couldn't take it all in! :shocked04:
I dug these at two cellar holes in between 100s of dig holes. The buckle was 15 feet from the lip and a musket was near that. Every cellar hole gets detected every few days now. There has been an explosion of detecting around here. :shocked01:
Thanks for looking!

Love the buckle Drew. More complete than any colonial buckle I have found. Some nice finds considering the amount of dig holes there.

Well done finding all those amongst those dig holes! I like the shoe buckle too.
-
Good work sniffing out those finds Drew. Nice ornate buckle!

Thanks guys! Anyone know how colonial shoe buckles were made? Was there a mold? I know they were mostly made in Birmingham, Eng.
Also, this one is odd in that the tongue is brass but the chape and pin are iron.
