<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 2052634, member: 10944&quot;]I believe it is a militia officers belt buckle (partial) from the 1840’s. There was about ten feet of brush and wild rose bush/prickers on the side of a field that had bulldozed/bobcatted into the woods at some point in the last few years. It exposed a section of ground that probably hadn’t seen the light of day in decades. An old treasure hunter told me these fields have been hunted before, but not this part! This was barely an inch or two down! Probably got pushed by the machinery. About ten feet or so away in the swampland that borders the field sat an 1840’s large cent. Probably fell out after his buckle broke. Looks like a natural path someone would take to cross a small stream and head up a hill to some houses. I’ve found dozens of musket balls in the area so I’m beginning to wonder if I found a training ground. [ATTACH=full]249305[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
