	My first find - belt buckle « on: April 03, 2010, 08:15:14 am »

I found this with my MXT and 6" Excellerator DD coil about 5 or 6" deep! General Washington's army was camped here in Fort Lee and I'm hoping it's from around that time. The middle piece does move about 1/4 of an inch. It looks like some patina is showing. Any experts can pinpoint this for me? Also, should I clean it or leave it as is?

EW has good advice, I wouldn't try to clean it until you figure out what it is and the the best way to clean it without causing any damage. Wink

What are the dimensions of the buckle? (By the way, congratulations)

That be a 'nutherin that should have an expert take a look see. Till then Matey, keep her as she be lest ye sully her. Generally speakin' Mateys, she seem to be a bit on the delicate side to have been military issue but then maybe the quartermaster, bein a resourceful man, might have handed out what he had in supply.
