Here's just one that's older I've dug only posting because during that time frame they seem to like putting the scallop protrusion on them as if you look this type up they made them with a scallop piece as well.Just like this one but with the scallop end.Only dug 4-5 dating to this time frame here though.
Single Loop Sub-Rectangular Buckle - UK Finds Database -

Many of the 17th century spectacle buckles utilized the "escallop moulding" in their design which lends more credence to yours being from that time period as well.
 

Does anyone know about these things I found two more yesterday,& have found 2 others in the past from sites.All same size & look.Almost look like some kind of slide in gun sights or mabe something for a stringed instrument to hold strings in.:dontknow: Just getting kind of odd now that I've found so many it means they were used for something.

the back...

Those pictures are much more convincing. Now I agree it looks early & not one of the steel pin types I first judged by the iron residue.
 

All good buddy,I know you knew better :)
On my phone right now.
Take Care,
