Brass buckle. Can someone help with a time period?

[scavanau]

Out getting my exercise (and deer scouting). Was trying to locate a long since gone Boy Scout camp. Only notable finds were this, a horseshoe, and a 3 scrapes.

1-7/8" long by 1-5/8" wide. No markings.

I dare say that looks colonial, or shortly post colonial. Great buckle, you might want to detect there again!

Thanks everyone. Spot is at the top of my list for spring 2016. There's a waterfall with a bridge abutment as well. Numerous targets in the stream.

I agree with J.Cache on this one - early 1800's bat-wing buckle. Nice find!
