Looks like a great hunt to me! I'm thinking the larger buckle dates to the mid-late 1700's. The smaller buckle looks older to me. Congrats. Gotta love the old stuff...especially when you can pull an intact shoe buckle out of the ground!
 

Agreed with Agmonkey. Two of the buttons look like large coat buttons popular in the latter part of the 18th century. I've found quite a few shoe and knee buckle parts, but only one with an intact chape like your.
 

Talk about early buckle finds... amazing saves right there! :hello2:
Love to see a pic of those early buckles all cleaned up.

Nice saves. This might help with age of shoe buckle.
