Gold plated what is it?

It looks old but i broke it with my shovel. It has a fastening device on the back. I've found 1700's items at the same location. Thanks.

Might want to wash it up a bit and re-post some pictures. Good luck, I hope it turns out to be something cool for you.

The tabs on the back make me thing belt buckle, but it does seem too big to be one.

Breast plate ? maybe Indian ?

Back of an oval picture frame or mirror the hinge is for the leg to hold up frame.IMO

I agree with a (once) highly polished brass mirror for standing on a vanity or desk. Sub
