That's a nice find!

Do u think it's civil war era?

That is a great buckle… it may be post Civil War, but I’m not sure… either way, it’s a fantastic find…. Those buttons are old!!

 

[Ohio pull tabs]

I'm sure but I would think there is a good chance

 

[NEPA Bud]

Ox shoes take the dates here pretty far back too

Do u think it's civil war era?

it may be an Indian Wars era buckle.

Never been to an area where that era buckle could be present. Its fun seeing the stuff here and the guys that know such stuff!!!

I think you have a sword plate there. Civil war era. Awesome find.

Probably a militia buckle before the civil war, a sword belt plate and used in civil war. Great find. Here is a similar one I found in South Carolina.

Sweet find!! Can we see the back ?

 

[NEPA Bud]

Better pic of front I think and the back as requested

 

[NEPA Bud]

This was at the same site I know some of u have already looked at but maybe with the buckle it will be easier to figure out what it is

1851 Officers plate with wide tongue, and see gold gilt and the silver wreath (often missing) in background of 3rd pic on original post. The other eagle piece might be remnants of a powder flask.
