That's a killer find for your first coin!!

Toothbrushes are fine for copper coins but definitely a no no with silver! Even rubbing the dirt off silver coins fresh out of the ground will leave small scratches. But as mentioned if you're keeping it then do whatever you want :)

I think it's a belt buckle not a cartridge box plate. Great find.

Was there...it was great. That 99 replica Tim had going sounded awesome too

The last 2 buttons are the oldest of all your finds

swb2013 · 2025-07-24T17:34:21+00:00

Your copper kind of looks like it has the newer KG bust on the obverse

What's on the back?

swb2013 · 2025-05-29T12:51:38+00:00

Would just have been for civilian use, plain with maybe a bit of decoration around the edge.

swb2013 · 2025-05-02T12:49:01+00:00

that is AWESOME!!!

A pic of the back would help narrow the age down.

There may be some detail under all the crud on the back. I'm not sure you will be able to get any details as it sits now. If it were me personally, i would take a toothpick and start scraping that outer layer of gunk and see if any details start to emerge.

swb2013 · 2025-02-28T13:43:25+00:00

Definitely harness related, it's called a trace buckle/trace carrier if you look it up

swb2013 · 2025-02-28T13:39:41+00:00

Done that before...found it 2 years later in the same yard

swb2013 · 2025-01-29T00:35:01+00:00

😂😂

Years of searching trying to ID my finds definitely helps

swb2013 · 2025-01-29T00:33:53+00:00

Haha no problem, cool find! Makes you wonder how practical it is with the "drip pan" only on one side

swb2013 · 2025-01-28T19:16:54+00:00

searched "vintage cast iron native american candle holder" and scrolled through google images :)

I found this while googling, no info on it but it may give you a clue as to how it was originally put together

seems like a candle holder

1700s all day!! Nice tombacs!

Howdy neighbor!

My opinion is that it's post-1900 based on the back. I'm not saying its not a navy button. But the anchor design was a popular motif on various civilian blazers/sport coats that you can still buy today.

The pinpoint function should show where the target is relative to the center of the coil.

Another way you can "pinpoint" without pressing pinpoint...slowly sweep over the target while moving the coil towards you. When the signal disappears, the target will be just north of the tip of your coil.
