Hi Bill. I see you are digging the old stuff on those breaks again! Your going to make me want to come out and detect with you soon. Seriously, I think there is a good find that will be coming out of there. Keep posting...HHHH Mike

Good ID, it does fit the Spur Buckles of that type & timeframe just puzzelled by the metal which looks more tombac than the usual copper-alloy
PS. maybe well preserved copper-alloy (looking at picture again)
TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

Yes..... I would say a later copy of the type I posted.

I wonder if its an 18th century buckle in the same style (as you say like a copy). I guess the history of the area will narrow it to the right timeframe.
