A fellow detectorist Andrew aka 'thecoffeebushkid' saw my post on Instagram, and asked if the tongue fit the other outer ring buckle..it DID! I wasn't aware I had found a complete buckle from the gold rush days! Legend.
American?

Any cleaning ideas? I'm assuming it's brass?
I love finding stuff, cleaning on the other hand I'm a total idiot
