yep he pointed that one out but the one lisa had curtains around the outside, apparently a different die

Awesome buckle Lisa. And that other thingy under the half penny looks a bit rude. any idea what that is to those who don't have dirty minds?!

 

[MegsyB007]

It looks like a keyhole plate off a trunk or something similar. If it was near the ornamental one on the previous page, they may have been off the same trunk. That one looks like a decorative piece to me.

what a fantastic buckle congratulations just beautiful

 

[linesman]

Some great finds there but the cricket buckle is a beauty. Im thinking the bearded England player depicted on the buckle would appear to be a representation of W.G.Grace. Grace is considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern test cricket. Check his profile and picture Wikipedia. Bazz.

Thanks all. Lisa is blown away the interest the buckle has created. Anyone know if these were an item regular public could buy at the time or were they given to the acual players of the side?

Found a few cricket buckles in Central Victoria, I believe they were available to the public back in the day.

[The Big Smo]

You are killing it.

I doubt if I will ever see another angel wing like that one,should make a great pendant for the other half.

 

[Goldpick]

Some sweet older silvers there, still producing some great finds.

 

[roy cobb]

Thanks all!

I like your cleaning video Marc.
I have just been using citric acid and baking powder on my silvers and leaving the pennies but I think I will invest in a tumbler so I can bring the coppers up a bit better too.
Do you coat the coins after final cleaning with anything?
Also where can I get the jeweler mix, I have read some of the Ebay ones are crap.

Thanks mate, nah dont coat them after cleaning. Most stay looking great but a couple go green sadly.
I got mine off ebay but payed $60 for a kg of it. Maybe the more expensive stuff is better
