Just wanted to share a pic of one of my favorite relics to find; colonial shoe buckle!!! Unfortunately I am noticing that I’m becoming greedy with the finds, with the exception of coins, If the finds aren’t early 1800s or earlier I’m not interested in them. I tend to find my self searching homesites, sites that pre date 1812!

Love it..I need to find one just like it !
 
I realize that where you are, everyone has a house or a barn that predates 1800. But here in CA, we can probably count the # of still-standing buildings on 2-hands, that pre-date 1800.
 
That's the quintessential Colonial relic find right there! Love it when they are whole like that. It probably still swivels too? Congrats.

Yea I hate that I’ve gotten to that point, just not a fan of that time period for some odd reason!
 
Very nice buckle for sure! I've been fortunate enough to find 2 solid silver colonial shoe buckles. I agree, it's tough to beat colonial. Just wish they had more precious metals back then :no:

My first genuine relic I found detecting was a shoe buckle chape. I was over the moon.

The older the better.
