Maybe someone can put a name on it?

Found this in the same location some Jesuit rings have come from. I am not sure if there is any relation to the rings but may be a clue?

Ya, they look either like ducks or geese to me.

There was a very similar piece (a snake though) posted awhile back. A belt buckle loop was the general consensus. Looks comfortable. Nice find!

That is without a doubt a center link snake to a sword belt buckle used by the British for a hundred years or so.

The snake pattern buckle was used by several countries over a long period of time. That one is a beauty, and looks like an older one. Perhaps a snake buckle expert will chime in

Congrats

When I lived in England folks would find these a lot. I'd have never expected one to pop up in Canada. Nope not in a million years did I expect that...great find and yup I am jealous :)
