I found this today! What is it!

I found this in a 1800s town park, by the tree roots. It look like a belt buckle, or something. It has a pat march 7 1871, plus 315 above the top, part. Thanks for looking, and any info. Have a happy 4th, and be safe!

Suspender clip? The rounded part would go around a button the the pants and the other end with the clip would clip to the suspender material.

Could it be Mar. 7, 1876?

On second thought, your date of 1871 is prominent.
