Jeff Boyd of Graves Co Ky. found this unusal belt buckle March 5th of this year in a fire or trash
pit approximatly sixteen inches deep in Graves Co Ky.
Jeff has been hunting this site since August of 2009 using a Fisher F 75.
The site has produced several coin and flower buttons, an eagle breast plate, camp jewelry,
a sword scabbard throat with the roman numeral VI filed into it. The pit has also produced
marbles, broken china and bottles, animal bones, the usual square nails and junk brass.
A photo is attached of some of the relics recovered with this buckle.
I think the cutout on the plate may be G P Co. E or 6th Infantry Co. E
If anyone could give me any information on this buckle including it's value it would
be greatly appreciated.
Jeff has been relic hunting since 1974 and has never seen a buckle like it.
The measurements are 65 mm long, 57 mm on the left side, and 55 mm on the right side.
The reverse looks to show signs of the buckle being sand cast. The tounge looks to have been
cast with the plate and then bent over. It dosen't appear to ever had a belt loop, the four holes
were punched or drilled apter the plate was cast.
