[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 414377, member: 1695"] That's the only cricket buckle I've ever found, pretty rare around vs in Vic - found in the middle of a paddock not far from an 1800's sixpence. The little guy next door to the buckle standing against his cricket bat is an 1860's Australian tour of England pin, found at the base of a large gum tree. I have been meaning to donate that to a cricket museum in Vic, as it possibly relates to first ever Aboriginal cricket team to tour England. Why it ended up at the location where I found it, no idea, I have found no information whatsoever to link it to the area. It is the sort of item that adds intrigue to a relic hunt, and also something that spurs you on to discover more Australian history.
