Title: 17c Silver Buckle Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on February 27, 2009, 06:15:32 PM I only popped out for about ½ hours this afternoon & I'm glad I did!
I found this buckle in a field next to an old Church, apparently it's 17c in date & it's really small (wouldn't keep my trousers up). BB Title: Re: 17c Silver Buckle Post by: altinkum on February 27, 2009, 06:23:01 PM nice find i've not seen that type before. well worth going out for. mike

If memory serves me the last chapter of Ross Whiteheads book had silver buckles from this period in it - I'll have a look later thanks for posting Neil Title: Re: 17c Silver Buckle Post by: KANE (DES) on February 27, 2009, 06:48:51 PM lovely buckle botty things come to those that seek lol DES
