A Few Short Hunts This Week / Silver, Relic & token

Sunday, Due to all the rain storms, I was only able get in a short hunt. I hit an old church about a mile from my house and dug a 1902-O Barber Dime.
Tuesday, I only got out for about an hour after work, again due to rain. I dug a cool Lion Head Buckle ( or should I say, half a buckle ) I'm thinking it's Civil war era.
Thursday, I met up with Zrickkid after work. We hit one house and i dug a 1941 Washington Quarter and a 1936 Merc.
Ricky had to go so I hit one more for about half an hour before it got dark. I dug 6 Wheats and a Red Goose Token. I only hit about a 1/4 of the lawn, so I asked the owner if I could stop back next week. He said yes.

very nice assortment Don , the buckle is the envy of this relic hunter :loveit: I'm leaning on the authentic side myself , it has beautiful patina :thumbsup02: huge congrats :groovy:

Thank You so much for helping me figure out what it was.
Do you think it could be Civil War era? I can't find the exact one anywhere.

Congrats Don. Some silver and something Dan is drooling over!

Nice finds. I especially like the Red Goose token. When I was a kid, they and Buster Brown were the desired shoes for growing feet. Thanks for sharing.

Great bunch of finds as always, Don! Awesome Barber Dime!

But the crown jewel has to be that buckle! That thing is way cool!

:congrats:

Lion/Snake Belt Plate (Blockade Buckle),vanzutphen. The buckle you have is authentic I do believe.,vanzutphen I think its confederate? But it is from the civil war.....

A few short hunts, but lottsa goodies!! :thumbsup02:
The lion buckle is cool :cool: for sure! But you know how I like the old tokens! :drool:
Congrats on all the goodies!! :grin:

Great finds especially that buckle...huge :congrats:

Don this is the closest match I could find on your Buckle unfortunately its in worse shape and the opposite side that you have but the lion's feature details are very similar . they list it from "Georgian/Victorian" era (1840's -60's)

That does look like the same one.Very Cool.
Thanks again for your help on this one.
I don't find alot of decent old relics here in northern Illinois. Mostly Tokens.
This one goes on the "GOOD' shelf for sure. Don
