Mix o' relics & need opinions on small buckle

[drkp88]

I got out for a couple hours Sun and went back to my IH park. First time in the year I've been hunting this park that I didn't find even one IH!
I found 5 deep wheats: 1917, 1918, and 3 from the '20s. Relics included a broken flat button, a small padlock etc. I stopped breathing for a sec when I popped the token - I could just make out the eagle through the hard dirt coating. Turned out to be a modern token and says "no cash value" on the other side.
The buckle is interesting. It came from about 8 inches down. I was thinking it could be a shoe buckle or possibly a spur buckle. Any thoughts?
Thanks for sharing. Bruce in Ct

Nice finds Bruce. I know how you felt about that token. I found one just like it and when I saw the eagle my heart was pounding and then it was just a play token of some kind.:veryangry: GL & HH.

Hey Bruce. It looks like a match. Found it where I found my 2 center.

Bruce that buckle is a small version brass bat wing shoe buckle from the 1700's. There is also a silver variety of this buckle that I've seen found that is very ornate. Very good find.
