The date is about right but its not really classed as a 'Spectacle' Buckle as they are 'rounded' ends. Great find though!

Good book, I have it as well, 'double loop' I would have said, but if its in that chapter it must be right. Clearly my memory is not so great.

Good find 
as Cru says a double looped buckle, Trapezodial type that actually do date back to Medieval times, although yours is 1600's plus, and would have proberbly been of Miltary use..good one

@digging440yrs: wow, you like the Whites detectors, you think my Whites GMT is any good for coin detecting?

Nice finds! Thanks for posting and Congratulations on your recoveries. If your Whites turns on and operates it is good for coins! One of the old Whites detectors I had was one of my favorites of all time!
