WTG Ray!! You are definitely a good influence!!

On relic hunts we find gold nuggets and on nugget hunts we find old coins!! Go figure!! I love this hobby!

There is a book written by Max Bell but is really a compilation of many people's research on these buckles. California Gold Rush Belt Buckles and the men that wore them. by Max Bell I have personally chatted with many of the people that have researched these buckles for many many years and are the authorities on these types of buckles. Most date 1850-1855 and almost all predate the Civil War

1850's home site. I actually kicked it out when I rubbed the area with my boot. It was in the top layer of grass and when I saw it it was about a foot away from the original area of the signal. Many of our relics in these undisturbed sites are not very deep. You just never know so you dig it all.

Early 1850's

Pretty rare buckle !!

WOW-- Sweet hunk of cheese!! LOL That had to be a thrill to see in the hole!! Congrats!

Got a nice golden bear and a 8.3 dwt nug!
