🥇 BANNER 1816-1825 Pattern NEW YORK MILITIA EAGLE BELT PLATE but not in the book? HELP!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

What a way to end the day! 11 degrees when I got to the 2 cellars on private property I received permission to hunt. went there in the fall and the 1st site was and still is overgrown with vines and briars. 2nd site gave up some buttons and a knee buckle last time. decided to go back to both sites today. the clear site gave up a cool cast brass little buckle a few buttons,broken shoe buckle pieces and a cast brass face thing?
headed back to the overgrown site on way back to car with a 1/2 hour left of daylight and fought my way around the cellar. got a clad qtr a cool little buckle with a guy and his dog. and last signal i thought was gonna be a copper. Dug down and out pops a New York Militia Eagle belt plate. Amazing to see that come out of the ground! I had a friend look in the American Military Belt Plate book It's not in that one or any military belt plate book.
Can anyone help me with this? Is it a rare buckle?

From one Dave to another, Congrats on your latest Banner "Rare Bird" Find. It looks like it turned out to be a rare piece of lost history. It's always nice to find something special when you are out in the woods in the freezing temps. Not many people do that. Once again, Congrats
