This was dug in a field that yielded hundreds of artifacts from Roman times to 1900's
Don't know its purpose but was told it was a sash or sword strap buckle.
One of the biggest we ever dug there.
any help would be great.

The spectacle buckle has one of the longest timeframes. Started in the late medieval (16th C maybe a little earlier) until the early 18th C. The larger type like this are generally later & yours is probably mid 17th C. They were used on everything, purses, belts, horses etc.. Yours is probably a sword belt type but nearly impossible to guess.
