found at a 1700's house DEEP what is it

I found this at a 1700's house way in the back it was buried deep ( 8 inches) inbetween huge tree roots... First, I have no clue on the proper way to clean it..so I dont want to ruin it.... it looks like a belt thingy but I could be wrong so if anyone can tell me how to clean this without ruining it..and what the heck it is...it would be greatly appreciated... It kinda looks like yellowish or copper colored, that could be the rust too...so any input is greatly appreciated...

Nice. I was about to say sash or beat buckle, but Gypsy is more than likely right.

Nice find.

rae,
WTG. Great find. To get started with the cleaning process soak it in olive oil for a several days and see what that does. Do not use any kind of cleaner or polish on this item. A good long soak will get things started.
The next thing to do is get back out there and find some more great stuff. HH
