<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 4504439, member: 4727&quot;]Just wondering if a forum member might know anything about this interesting metal detecting find. It appears to be one half of a belt buckle. Interestingly, it’s in the form of “The Nightingale Jewel”, given to&nbsp;&nbsp; Florence Nightingale by Queen Victoria in 1855 in appreciation of the nurse’s efforts during the Crimean War. I’ve searched online but haven’t found a match. Perhaps there was an order of nurses that had this buckle as part of their uniform?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/wJkXyWZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lMx4nIw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/MSTbS4g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/gltSvy8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
