[lefthandedjim]

Hi Steve and all people reading this .I just started metaling about 7 months now and I love it. But lots of walking though. OK before Long Branch NJ and after Deal was an old abandoned Church where I found an old buckle .I cleaned it up and I see a goldish color ? BRONZE I think . It looks pretty old .Dose anyone know the value if any to this buckle?

Be careful cleaning relics. Collectors like to see the old patina intact because it's hard, but not impossible, to fake patinas.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME LOOK UP ALL ABOUT PATINAS AND IN THE FUTURE BE MORE CAREFUL ON HOW I CLEAN ITEMS.

Hi CarolinaClyde, Would I be correct to say that the "D"buckle is a "cinch" buckle? I ain't no cowboy and it has been awhile since I saddled up. Seems I have dug a couple of those myself way back. HH, Charlie
