Title: Small Buckle Post by: stampy on August 20, 2012, 07:46:40 AM Spent a few early hours out detecting yesterday morning and found this tiny little buckle. As its so tiny any ideas what it might have been used for (other than a very small persons trousers ;D) any idea date wise anyone?
Also found this belt/strap decoration which at first I thought was a little person, perhaps they owned the buckle ;) Title: Re: Small Buckle Post by: stampy on August 20, 2012, 08:33:45 AM Now I feel stupid, Its a brooch!!! Just found one similiar on PAS
