    Another farm find

    He guys,
    Got another item after clearing more brush. I'm guessing it's Victorian era, found about 6 inches down under lots of thick roots. It has a round blue glass stone in the center, and about half dollar size.

    the blue glass stone will date that to about the late 1880's to about the 1920's era Chris , its half of a ladies sash buckle or a perhaps a metal belt that was made up of these linking pieces.
