Hey Friends,
Today I went back to the 1794 French battle site and found this incredible shoe buckle! It was right next to the dirt road and rang in SO loud I thought for sure it was a smashed beer can! I'm thinking something this fancy had to belong to a French Officer (since the enlisted were dirt-poor). So what do you think? Best buckle ever?
It is gorgeous, Dave! So ornate and the patina is incredible! It's definitely one of the nicest buckles I've seen.
:congrats:
Best buckle ever? I'm not even sure that's the best buckle that you have found Dave.;) That is indeed one fine buckle !
Definitely one of the BEST EVER! The jade patina is ridiculous!
I agree, simply stunning. The patina is amazing!!
I would bet it older than 1794 by its size unless it was a woman's type .it has some great patina and design , I love it
Look at that patina! :envious: Fantastic buckle!
Sooo pretty, Dave!!! Haven't you been there longer than 2 yrs now?:congrats:
Yes, 2 years now. Only 1 year left. I wonder how desperate I'll get trying to detect at all the great spots before I leave?Quote:
