Butt Plate

Found this where I found a King George coin. I know it doesn't mean that its that old. But I was wondering if someone could identify what rifle it came off of.

Looks like the ones off of a late Brown Bess.

The piece is way to old for my expertise but is a Nice relic.

Definitely a butt plate. But it looks like the tang has a veiner incised line just inside the edge. That would take it out of the Bess/musket category. But it could still be military as officers provided their own weapons and a "blunderbuss" commonly had a bit of decoration.

Still could be private militia or most likely hunting.
