Dandaman's x-terra 305

[rocketaroo]

Could be a ladies belt buckle, such as nurses wore. I have found pieces of them. But, back in the day, ornate brass fittings were nailed onto furniture as well.

thanks RJ,... looks like an Irish harp shape to me.

I see that now you pointed it out.

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Definitely another dohickey.

 

[Dandaman]

Cleaned it up a little,

 

[Brian]

heaps easier to identify now its clean... :/

 

[silver]

It's lovely,.. that's for sure.

It looks like a piece of ornate kit/buckle worn on a kilt or leather buckle for some one in a drum and pipe band.
Be good to know a little bit of historical background on the place it was found.
Remeinds me of the badges and brockades worn way back in the pre post war era ..
Be interesting to find out what it is and the history . So many thing of histirical interest have been lost over t ime , its great to bring themk back to life and understand their history on our society.

Thanks guys, anyone know how to find out who may have owned the dog rego tag, is there a way I can find out?

I also I went to an old hall/church/school built in the 1880's but didn't find alot? Sorta felt like it had been hit before?. I was only there for an hr but there wernt a lot of signals an the only coin to be found was a 5c coin...

but did find this interesting thing. Any ideas what it is? Thanks

Your find looks very similar to this Irish badge

 

[rocketaroo]

[Dandaman]

Went out for around 2.5 hrs over the weekend

First hunt

Second hunt

Thought I found a nice hot weels car but when I cleaned it it is newer then I thought/hoped still cool looking just not as old as the base of the first one I found next to it, which would have looked like this new

Also cleaned this up a ages ago (still had no idea what it was is) then a friend pointed out that it looks like a lady holding a cricket bat up

 

[Goldpick]

Not a lady but a bloke, it's likely that it is an old cricket buckle, the clothing is certainly typical for that period.

 

[Ramjet]

I love the black car.

 

[Goldpick]

It's very retro isn't it, any makers marks on the bottom of it?

 

[rocketaroo]

black car looks old, and its a looker
