Eagle Belt Buckle (Civil War?)

[Masterdan407]

Found this tonight at a spot we have been hitting hard the past few weeks. We have pulled out four New York Seal Civil War Buttons, two Marine Corps Civil War Buttons, and one GAR Button. This was a big surprise because there is not many high tones left at the spot. I got a 83 hit on the AT Pro at two inches and thought for sure it was a can. At around four inches down a large piece of copper popped out which was bent in half. I slowly unfolded it and there was a large eagle staring back at me. It is about three inches long and two inches wide and I have not been able to find another like it on the internet. If anyone knows what the age of this is, it would be a great help.
