Civil War Buckle Tongue?

[Jeff In North Georgia]

Was coin hunting today around an old home site today and got a good one I think? Scratched the back side with the shovel as I was digging it , it was ~8" deep.

A plain tongue portion of a two piece buckle. Searched the area well but no sign of the other half.

Let me know if you think it is period?

Thanks!

Bet that got your heart going when seen in the hole.
Too bad it's not labeled.
Still a great find in my book!

Although I am not an expert on C.W. period Tongue and Wreaths,I beleive it may be,although the way the center disc is attached does resemble a type from the 1880's?Nice find!!
