Indian wars era buckle

[birdman]

Hi all, found my 2nd buckle of the year. I am in Pa visiting my wife's family and I was told of an area to try for old coins. The only coin was a 1936 quarter but I found my first Indian wars era buckle so I am on cloud 9.
I also found a few buttons which I think are railroad buttons. Two have PRS on the front and one has PennTS on it.Maybe school buttons.. Not sure but buttons are always fun.
Thanks for looking and HH.

I am close to Cannonsberg till Thursday then heading out.

The buckle is post CW so maybe 1870s. Hope to find another relic or two tomorrow.

Thanks all, found out the buckle was made between 1874 about 1890 . The site was built in 1870 so that fits well with the old buildings that used to be there.
