I had an awesome day. Bob and I`s first stop was a little north of Chavis Park in Raleigh where i found what i think is a buckle. Plus more brass and lead. Any ideas on its age or how to straighten  Our second stop was back to Dorthea Dix where i snagged this 1942 Quarter. Yippee Plus toys and clad. My last find was at the recycling dumpsters where i found these 3 bottles of Wine. Bummer it looks like theres gunk on my lens. |

Wow ,that hurts . If you heat it up you should be able to bend it back . I would be very careful and go real slow. Very cool find!

A CW BUCKLE!!!! You dog you.  Bill, that's a great find! You go from aluminum cans to CW buckles. Hopefully you can get er' straightened out. I don't think I would even try though. I'd be a fraid of snapping it in half.  AWESOME!!! Congrats on the SILVER too. Did you leave Bob anything? MM |

Thanks GL i starred at that page for almost a half an hour trying to get an exact match.
no such luck, but very close on most of them so i`m guessing it dates around 1851.
If it is cast it will impossible to straighten.
It`s amazing that this one got bent up this much without breaking.
Thanks Allen for finding my typo. / Wishfull thinking i guess.
Thanks everyone for looking and you replies.
Bob found some wheats and clad but left me his aluminum and copper.
Thanks Bob for the recyclables ( And your company).

Thanks bob but theres no berries in the shrubbery of the eagles right foot on the one you sent me. I think it feels and looks like brass, so i`ll probably try a little heat. (Not tonight though, to much wine  |

Hey, maybe we should go dumpster diving next week. I could use a couple bottles of wine more than a few clad quarters, dimes and aluminum cans.  |

It is an 1851.. seems there are variations.. different manufactors?? I really... really would not try to straighten it.. even if you do get it straight the plate will have stress fractures and the patina will pop off any where there were stress fracture... soo even if it "flat" it won't look good.. besides you have a 100% as dug buckle!!! Go with it!!!

Sorry i didn`t clean it better bridgeendfarm, it appears someone stole 2 of the tires and rims. I also thought it was a cool little Chevy looking hot wheels truck. Let me know if you want it, i`ll ship it ASAP. Thanks everyone for looking. FYI i`ve almost finished bottle #2 of the wines and they have really been sweet so far. Saving the long neck for last  Still trying to decide if i should straighten and anneal this awesome buckle. |
