Any help???

Found the brass buckle and the 2 iron thingies in a camp. This camp is from around the 1860-1870 time period give or take a decade maybe.

I think it's a buckle but aint sure. The 2 iron pieces look like sling belt keepers to me????

Tell me what youz think they are

Thanks for lookin' Nick

Looks colonial to me.

Thanks Bill

I also thought it was fairly early, But I'm in Colorado, ....I guess any thing is possible. There were 2 fairly large fur trading post 80-100 miles from here.

Could have been brought in that way maybe

Thanks Nick

brass piece may be the rim to a coin purse. Interesting regardless.

Thanks for the reply David.

Put my reading glasses on and see the glass bead that I had not seen before. Looks like all thoses dimples had beads crimped in them.

On the other side it looks like something hinged or snapped into the grooves?

Perhaps a picture frame.

I think it is a woman's barrette for long hair. The clip is missing; it would snap across the piece from the center of on side to the center of the opposite side.

Hi Frito;

Welcome to the forum.

I think you may have hit that old cut nail right on the head a few days ago I was thinking along that line also.
The people in this camp sure did like shiney stuff.

Thanks. What area you at?

Hi, Lizardchaser,
I'm from Maine and have been lurking for a few years now. I did join the Friends and Finds forum back before it's name changed but I don't remember what my login and name was at that time. I've been detecting off and on since buying my first detector, a Compass Yukon 49B (I think that was the model) in the early 1970s. My wife and I each have Whites IDX Pro detectors which we don't get to use very often. I check this site and the F&F forum every day before work; it lets me detect vicariously through all of you!
