Yea dug some relics, I'll try and make a post tomorrow or Sunday. That buckle looks like it's stamped brass, is that what it is or cast?

Yea but probably a $100 or more behind LOL.

It's what Tom call's the "flimsy" style, so yeah stamped thin brass not cast.  They seem to be the most common.  There's a recently published book on these Gold Rush era tongue and wreath style buckles. 

Tom's dying to get #17 but he can wait, I'm only on #2 maybe #3 is waiting for me on our trek LOL

I bet you got some good stuff, I'll look for your post of your adventures!

BTW Tom I picked up #17 this Summer

You dirty dog !   Last time we talked on the phone, I was barely ahead of you.  Now you've gone and rained on my parade.  I gotta get my duff in gear and catch up !!  ?

Let's compromise :  We each get a gold coin on this upcoming trek, ok ?  ?
