Any ideas

I know its not glass but I found it in area lots of good glass has been coming from, thought you guys would like it and might have some info.
surface find in piles of dirt I have been slowly working through. Hoping for rain everyday until I can get this stuff spread out into more manageable detecting depth. Not positive but from research and intel from buddies, pre-civil war militia buckle. I know the eagle has been on many buckles but oddly have not found any that match embossing and have eagle head turned left like this one. Any knowledge View attachment 1450688 appreciated.
Thanks

Certainly looks like a buckle. What does the back look like?

There are sections of this forum where you'll get the best info instead of the bottle guys, just sayin', looks like a beauty...

Could also be a breast plate
