Ron (CA) Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Only asked abt details cause phone not playin video. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just never know so you dig it all. (Got it figured out, woot-woot) Thats refreshing, would have thought something that large would been found by now. It would be interesting to see what its value could be, being one of a handful. Continued prosperity to you, friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
