The ensuing discussion went on for three pages. Whether you are taking a leisure metal detecting trip along the beach shorelines or hunting for treasure in the deep sea, the type of metal detector you bring along with you is important.


Sticking to the hobby would not bring enough participation on either of the forums that are hanging on. I was very brave or foolish? It does look older and is possibly a Colonial Knee buckle since the pin attaches to the short sides.

It does look older and is possibly a Colonial Knee buckle since the pin attaches to the short sides. We need to check the designs to see what period they may have been used in. Just because a house was only built in 1860 does not mean things the family had were all new. Many brought older family items with them. I believe I can provide some information regarding dating your buckle. I have been collecting these things for more than 30 years ever since I dug one up in Virginia. They are a very cool and personal form of the erly history of the folks that built our country. Your buckle is a known form in England, knee and shoebuckles of this shape and design with various decorative patterns were used from the 1720s-1790s. You buckle is similar in form to the example in my picture, but is a knee buckle rather than a shoe buckle. I can say this for tow features of your buckle. The knee buckle will have the pin going the length of the buckle, and was worn in a vertical position to fasten the knee strap on the leg of the knee pants. Also the size, the small size of your buckle tells me that it is a knee buckle as most buckles of this time period were much larger. I attache a picture showing the similar form from a reference boo and adde a picture of a knee buckle from my collections for your viewing pleasure.


My 2 oldest coins to date! Metal detecting Canada
The older the site is, the better — as your potential to find coins and relics from long ago increases. I was very brave or foolish. And all my fears have been realised. Trouble with American sites is you need to learn the lingo John. Sticking to the hobby would not bring enough participation on either of the forums that are ring on. What am I looking for in a machine. Tough shit; their loss. At this stage, a metal detecting site to which I subscribe will recognise themselves, fail to get the joke and instantly ban me from the forum.
