    How about some details :) Where were you detecting? Any history on the area? How deep was it? Any other finds?

    @SensibleSal66 .... Welcome aboard.... Really could use some more information... and perhaps a bit smaller pictures. That being said, based on the second picture, it does appear to be a buckle of some sort... have you soaked it in anything yet? More details might appear. Cheers, RickO

    I suggest soaking it in otc hydrogen peroxide for 24 hrs. Dry it, then soak it in mineral oil. IMO. 16 teeth mean anything? Peace Roy

    I'm not sure about the teeth . I found it at a cellar hole close to a river and railroad track . Maybe a cutting tool ? Thanks for the cleaning tips .

    Cellar holes are great for finding all the items that fell thru the floorboards. I have dug killer items in the ground under former front porches as well. Have a good day. Peace Roy

    Cellar holes, old stone wall property lines (check for backyard visibility of significant formations - tree, large rock etc.)... Good luck with cleaning that 'buckle'... would be nice to identify it. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like 1860's .. Nothing Special but it was made for a use. The saw cut may have saved the owner a few minutes or a few steps when needing a tool of that type for a given use. Something that was not used all the time but when necessary he had it with him.... JMHO... Its a nice find

    Seems far fetched, I know but in the old days we kept track of deer shot by putting a notch in the butt of the rifle stock.
    Perhaps 'he' was keeping track of something by notching that buckle? :)

    @1630Boston.... Let's hope it was deer or squirrel or some such four legged critter... not a serial killers record. >:) Cheers, RickO

    If you can't remember without notching your belt buckle it may be time to quit! :)

    When you shoot 75 to 100 white tail deer with various rifles it's nice to have a record of what did what :)

    If I get a chance I'll photo one rifle but plate, I think that one has 15 or 18 notches in it.
    Also, these rifles are passed down from generation to generation. :)
