🥇 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?

Incredible find. I went out on Friday so cold I almost gave up. Found a wheatie and a musket ball. Not the most productive day but I tried.

BANNER

thanks Cru! I don't think it will make it up top due to the rules and would gladly have the admins pull my button on the banner and have this placed up top as I feel it's unique and not many people have a chance to see something like this.. But, It's most likely War of 1812 and got some info from the heavy hitters in collecting. I am going to submit pics to Mike O'Donell and Duncan Campbell for a new plate book they are working on.below are some screen shots of a convo I had with a NY belt plate collector.
