Beautiful Buckle

[Silvermonkey]

Its December in New England, but I was still able to get out with my AT-Pro for a few hours. I was hunting in a new wooded area and came across this lovely , intact buckle. It was only about 5-6 inches deep, and rang in at about an 83-85. Can anyone give me an estimate on the age? I have never found a buckle like this in such great condition. HH

Nice shoe buckle. So hard to find them completely intact like that. I agree with the age estimates of 1750 to 1770. I have found that plain square design on 1750s French and Indian War sites.
