I found this copper alloy buckle at an old farmfield site dating back to the 1300's. The target was located quite deep in the ground. I've looked in books and online but can't quite find something very similar to this buckle. I wonder if it might be as old as late medieval (ca 1500's). It is quite asymmetrical which would suggest that it might be very old. Here are some pictures (ruler is in CM):
