In 1775 war broke out between the British and American Colonists known as the American Revolutionary War, and by 1783, the British recognized America's Independence. A 227 year old remnant of this war was discovered by Robert from New York in the form of an original American Revolutionary War buckle. Robert researched the encampment area and detected near an old tree now over 400 years old where the soldiers likely congregated. About five feet away from this tree his Ace 250 sung a new tune!

My favorite find this month is the mint condition Civil War belt buckle from the 1860s. This oval brass buckle has the letters “CS”, which stand for “Confederate States”, and is encircled by 11 stars which represent the eleven confederate states. It is believed that General Nathan Bedford Forrest had these buckles commissioned for his staff officers. Several square nails were also recovered in the same area, likely from wood supply boxes.
